On Himself

ON HIMSELF by David Wright (b.1920) ' Abstracted by silence from the age of seven, Deafened and penned by as black calamity As twice to be born, I cannot without pity Contemplate myself as an infant; Or fail to speak of silence as a priestess Calling to serve in the temple of a skull Her innocent choice. It is barely possible/ Not to be affected by such a distress. '
