Oh, sweet defense! – you splendid, endless root! –
as tough as any tuber in the ground – but full
of firm concern – proprietary grip – a kind of kindness –
looking out for us with burning certainty,
an absoluteness so complete it breeds the luxury
of absentmindedness: what is there, with you around,
to worry over, think about, remember? How sweetly
thick you are! Protecting like a vast protuberance
of scar. You preach the safety of your stasis.
And how we cling, each to the other, on that basis!
