[La mort de Glenn Gould]

Now it opens to winter,
the fire lit in solitudes.
The photograph shows
a soul's privacy, perfect
yet passing, his dream
unready for sleep.
What dream in this coffin?
The man's compassion for
animals akin to formal ecstasies of Bach? We
mourners bring soul's scrutiny
to his beauty like a stem.
