It sat between my husband and my children	A
A place was set for it a plate of greens	B
It had been there I had seen it	C
But not somehow but this was like a dream	D
Not seen it so that I knew I saw it	C
It was as if I could not know I saw it	C
Because I had never once in all my life	E
Not seen it It was an eland	F
An eland That is why the children	A
Would ask my husband for a joke at Christmas	G
Father is it Donner He would say No Blitzen	A
It had been there always Now we put silver	H
At its place at meals fed it the same food	I
We ourselves ate and said nothing Many times	J
When it breathed heavily when it had tried	K
A long useless time to speak and reached to me	L
So that I touched it of a different size	M
And order of being like the live hard side	K
Of a horse s neck when you pat the horse	N
And looked with its great melting tearless eyes	M
Fringed with a few coarse wire like lashes	O
Into my eyes and whispered to me	L
So that my eyes turned backward in their sockets	P
And they said nothing	Q
many times	J
I have known when they said nothing	Q
That it did not exist If they had heard	R
They could not have been silent And yet they heard	R
Heard many times what I have spoken	A
When it could no longer speak but only breathe	S
When I could no longer speak but only breathe	S

	-
And after some years the others came	T
And took it from me it was ill they told me	L
And cured it they wrote me my whole city	L
Sent me cards lilac branches mourning	Q
As I had mourned	U
and I was standing	Q
By a grave in flowers by dyed rolls of turf	V
And a canvas marquee the last brown of earth	W
	-
	-
It is over	H
It is over so long that I begin to think	X
That it did not exist that I have never	H
And my son says one morning from the paper	H
An eland Look an eland	F
It was so	Y
	-
	-
Today in a German dictionary I saw elend	F
And the heart in my breast turned over it was	Z
	-
	-
It was a word one translates wretched	F
	-
	-
It is as if someone remembered saying	Q
This is an antimacassar that I grew from seed	F
And this were true	A2
And truly	L
One could not wish for anything more strange	B2
For anything more And yet it wasn t interesting	Q
It was worse than impossible it was a joke	C2
	-
	-
And yet when it was I was	Z
Even to think that I once thought	F
That I could see it to feel the sweat	F
Like needles at my hair roots I am blind	F
	-
	-
It was not even a joke not even a joke	C2
Yet how can I believe it Or believe that I	D2
Owned it a husband children Is my voice the voice	E2
Of that skin of being of what owns is owned	F
In honor or dishonor that is borne and bears	F2
Or of that raw thing the being inside it	F
That has neither a wife a husband nor a child	F
But goes at last as naked from this world	F
As it was born into it	F
	-
	-
And the eland comes and grazes on its grave	G2
	-
	-
This is senseless	G
Shall I make sense or shall I tell the truth	H2
Choose either I cannot do both	I2
	-
	-
I tell myself that And yet it is not so	Y
And what I say afterwards will not be so	Y
To be at all is to be wrong	J2
Being is being old	F
And saying almost comfortably across a table	K2
From	L2
from what I don t know	Y
in a voice	E2
Rich with a kind of longing satisfaction	A
To own an eland That s what I call life	E
