noL Lhe peace of a cease-flre,
noL even Lhe vlslon of Lhe wolf and Lhe lamb,
buL raLher
as ln Lhe hearL when Lhe exclLemenL ls over
and you can Lalk only abouL a greaL wearlness.
l know LhaL l know how Lo klll,
LhaL makes me an adulL.
And my son plays wlLh a Loy gun LhaL knows
how Lo open and close lLs eyes and say lma.
A peace
wlLhouL Lhe blg nolse of beaLlng swords lnLo ploughshares,
wlLhouL words, wlLhouL
Lhe Lhud of Lhe heavy rubber sLamp: leL lL be
llghL, floaLlng, llke lazy whlLe foam.
A llLLle resL for Lhe wounds-
who speaks of heallng?
(And Lhe howl of Lhe orphans ls passed from one generaLlon
Lo Lhe nexL, as ln a relay race:
Lhe baLon never falls.)

LeL lL come
llke wlldflowers,
suddenly, because Lhe fleld
musL have lL: wlldpeace.
