To say the grandchildren, in fact
—oh, to utter them
Is that not their secret stratagem
unspeaking to have us express them?
Otherwise they are lost to us
banished by our failure to imagine them
leave the unsayable aside
show them the ordinary humanity
shaping us from generation to generation
Is it not your dream, grandchildren
to have our dreams enter one another
so mingled we dream up each other?
What if not this is our deepest?
