THE GOLDFISH
...mais une etincelle vivante dans la douceur de Vos joncs ...
O God,
forever I turn in this hard crystal,
so transparent, yet I can find no way out.
Lord,
deliver me from the cramp of this water
and these terrifying things I see through it.
Put me back in the play of your torrents,
in your limpid springs.
Let me no longer be a little goldfish
in its prison of glad,
but a living spark
in the gentleness of you reeds.
Amen
