That sacred Closet when you sweep-
Entitled “Memory”-
Select a reverential Broom-
And do it silently.
'Twill be a Labor of surprise-
Besides Identity
Of other Interlocutors
A probability-
August the Dust of that Domain-
Unchallenged-let it lie-
You cannot supersede itself
But it can silence you-
That Sacred Closet When You Sweep'
