To W. C. W. M. D.

Alfred Kreymborg

THERE has been

Another death.

This time

I bring it to you.

You are kind,

Brutal,

You know

How to lower

Bodies.

I ask only

That the rope

Isn’t silk,

(Silk doesn’t break)

Nor thread,

(Thread does.)

If it lifts

And lowers

Common things,

It will do.
