Desire # 4
by Patricia Fargnoli
Soon he will leave,
a man with four suitcases
hurrying into the rain.
All that can be kept then
is the black belt of sadness
which you have earned
four times over.
This is the hardest lesson–
you must let go of what
you would hold too firmly.
Four times the bells ring,
loud at first–
and then softer,
the sound disappearing
above you in the wet, white pines.
