You You Only Exist
You, you only, exist.
We pass away, till at last,
our passing is so immense
that you arise: beautiful moment,
in all your suddenness,
arising in love, or enchanted
in the contraction of work.
To you I belong, however time may
wear me away.
From you to you
I go commanded.
In between
the garland is hanging in chance; but if you
take it up and up and up: look:
all becomes festival!
