Annunciation - Marie Howe

Even if I don't see it again - nor ever feel it 

I know it is - and that if once it hailed me 

it ever does-

And so it is myself I want to turn in that direction

not as towards a place, but it was a tilting 

within myself,

  

as one turns a mirror to flash the light to where

it isn't - I was blinded like that - and swam

in what shone at me

  

only able to endure  it by being no one and so

specifically myself I thought I'd die

from being loved like that.
