Sawdust and Diamonds

And the moment I slept, I was swept up in a terrible tremor

Though no longer bereft, how I shook! And I couldn’t remember

Then the furthermost shake drove a

1murthering stake in
2And cleft me right down through my center

And I shouldn’t say so, but I knew that it was then, or never
