Death Casts No Light on the Mind

It is not for that; not
permeable at all, an Easter cross.

He crossed himself, and climbed

Then then 
imagination springs; it tastes
mulberries, risen tigers, Himalayas,
summer lightning--

He leaped eternity
(whisper goes),
a tiger to its prey.
(Fr. Daniel J. Berrigan)
