What the seeker Hopkins knew--
he could never catch Christ. Could
he, then position himself in a way
Christ could catch him?
Pilgrims lose so much
walking into the no way out.
There is no need to write back
he will write, his strange pen
just that far in front of his fingers.
The premonition of the cost hidden
before the in-scaped heart
grown beyond yes and no.
