[Oe List ...] THE JOURNEY

[Marianna Bailey]

It seemed that,in time, all the substance from one image would flow into the other and only one would remain: Leo. He must grow, I must disappear.
	As I stood there and looked and tried to understand what I saw, I recalled a short conversation that I had once had with Leo during the festive days at Bremgarten. We had talked about the creation of poetry being more vivid and real than the poets themselves.
	The candle burned low and went out. I was overcome by an infinite weariness and desire to sleep, and I turned away to find a place where I could lie down and sleep.
