Escalator

He acts, in splendor and in darkness, 
in the roar of waterfalls and in the silence of sleep, 
but not as your well-protected shepherds 
would have it. He looks for the longest line, 
the road so circuitous 
it is barely visible, and fades away 
in suffering. Only blind men, only 
owls feel sometimes its dwindling trace 
under their eyelids.
