One Small Bit of an Infinity


If I could lend you one small
bit of an infinity I would.
(You wouldn't have to give
it back.) It might cast just

the needed spell of letting
you believe that all is now
and always will be well.
There is something bright –

ungovernable – volatile in
you called life. Now you
fight it,  try to slice it with
a mental knife: to split it

into good guys, bad guys,
brutal lessons to be learned.
If you could borrow from me
one small bit of an infinity

(you wouldn't have to give it
back) you mightn't think that
safety in the soul could
only mortally be earned.
