A Song of Two Gardens

        In a garden you wept
        as the others slept.
A garden is good for reposing.
A garden began your life's closing.

        One came with a kiss
        that no one could miss.
A garden is good for betraying.
A garden has start- but no stay-ing.

        A garden's new cave
        became your last grave.
A garden is good for descending.
A garden could prove your life's ending.

        Although you descend,
        begin past the end.
A garden is good for surprising.
A garden might well prove your rising.
