to the dead as well, so that, though in their
bodies they had undergone the judgement
that faces all humanity, in their spirit they
might enjoy the life of God.”

Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.”

“After carrying me up the mountain,
That is Purgatory, the Eagle lay me next to
A tree by a river.  Angels rubbed unction
Into the claw holes covering my shoulders &
They were healed.”
