The Treasure By Robinson JeffersMountains,
a moment’s earth-waves rising and hollowing; the earth too’s an ephemerid;
the stars—
Short-lived
as grass the stars quicken in the nebula and dry in their summer, they
spiral
Blind up space,
scattered black seeds of a future; nothing lives long, the whole sky’s
Recurrences
tick the seconds of the hours of the ages of the gulf before birth, and
the gulf
After death
is like dated: to labor eighty years in a notch of eternity is nothing too
tiresome,
Enormous repose
after, enormous repose before, the flash of activity.
Surely you never
have dreamed the incredible depths were prologue and epilogue merely
To the surface
play in the sun, the instant of life, what is called life? I fancy
That silence
is the thing, this noise a found word for it; interjection, a jump of the
breath at that silence;
Stars burn,
grass grows, men breathe: as a man finding treasure says “Ah!” but the treasure’s
the essence:
Before the man
spoke it was there, and after he has spoken he gathers it, inexhaustible treasure.
