[title underlined] SACHS

Saw in the morning the wings, watched their shadows
darken the corn, lakes, fairy spires of the city;
Smelled on the wind grass-scent mingled with petrol;
(the mares are throwing some good colts this year)
Heard on the newscasts the words, felt an invisible
needle probing. Anger. The quick wrist motion. Silence.
Clasped the man-child's shoulder (child?) making no sign,
no answer when he echoed the dove-words, streamlined,
glittering, welded; 
Tasted fear on her lips in the dusk, thought
of the letters, telegrams, registers, ballots.
"Manchmal steh! ich auf mitten in der Nact
Und lass die Uhren alle, alle stehn.
Allein man muss sich auch vor ihr nicht furchten?"

(Quotation from von Hofmannstahl "Der Rosenkavalier", Act 1)
