Sometimes, When the Light by Lisel Mueller

Have you grown so “old” that you’ve forgotten what she writes about?
Sometimes, When the Light by Lisel Mueller
Sometimes, when the light strikes at odd angles
and pulls you back into childhood
and you are passing a crumbling mansion
completely hidden behind old willowsor an empty convent guarded by hemlocks
and giant firs standing hip to hip,you know again that behind that wall,
under the uncut hair of the willowssomething secret is going on,
so marvelous and dangerousthat if you crawled through and saw,
you would die, or be happy forever.
