trying to unweave
unwind piece together
past and the future

Trying to unweave, unwind, unravel
And piece together the past and the future,
Between midnight and dawn, when the past is all deception,
The future futureless, before the morning watch
When time stops and time is never ending;
And the ground swell, that is and was from the beginning,

From The Dry Salvages in Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot (New York, Harcourt, Brace and Co., 1943
