| THE WORM'S WAKING | |
| This is how a human being can change: | |
| there’s a worm addicted to eating | |
| grape leaves. | |
| Suddenly he wakes up, | |
| call it grace, whatever, something | |
| wakes him, and he’s no longer | |
| a worm. | |
| He’s the entire vineyard, | |
| and the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks, | |
| a growing wisdom and joy | |
| that doesn’t need | |
| to devour. | |
