the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands
-excerpt of #35 from 100 Selected Poems — E. E. cummings
