just nearer to my grave i pause
to raise the issue and to reflect
on answers registered
carefully in my mind
the question, then, is this:
do i now need a woman
in my life, that last lap to run
to sleep well before i sleep in peace
this matter my heart
has never before quested
not, at least, very consciously, granting
freely, that space for a woman in my life
