Seeing For A Moment

I thought I was growing wings—it was a cocoon.

I thought, now is the time to stepinto the fire—it was deep water.

Eschatology is a word I learnedas a child: the study of Last Things;facing my mirror—no longer young,   the news—always of death,   the dogs—rising from sleep and clamoring      and howling, howling,neverthelessI see for a momentthat's not it: it isthe First Things.

Word after wordfloats through the glass.

Towards me.
