The Arms of Harps


        I am hanging from
             the ledge of lunacy.
        When I fall I shall be caught
             in the arms of harps.
        All my anguishes will be swept
                   from me
             like healing sores
                   as I lie
                 resurrecting
             on strings of sound.
