TO BE A HERMIT
god's will be done
our will goes the other way
having chosen jail
we're free to live
in the paradise of the mind
consider Emily
when she descends--
finally--
she's laughing
the lilies in her arms
burn like stars
what could I possibly say about this poem? it's perfect. ....."the paradise of the mind"
