...quick to shut my eyes.
Whereas my friend was able to watch, to let events play out
According to nature. For my sake she intervened
Brushing a few ants off the torn thing, and set it down
Across the road.
My friend says I shut my eyes to God, that nothing else explains
My aversion to reality. She says I'm like the child who
Buries her head in the pillow

My friend is like the mother. Patient, urging me

Egregious and frutrate.
But in the deep of my despair,
When dark my doom was writ,
