Kindness
Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.

To learn how to die cut down a tree,
Watch how so many years fall.
You don't need to have planted it for it to be your life.

The moving finger writes; and having writ,
Moves on: nor all the piety nor all the wit
Can cancel half a line.
Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.
