Paper Nautilus
For authorities whose hopes

are shaped by mercenaries?

Writers entrapped by

teatime fame and by

commuters' comforts? Not for these

the paper nautilus

constructs her thin glass shell.

- the watchful
  
  maker of it guards it
  
  day and night; she scarcely
  
  eats until the eggs are hatched.
- her glass ram'shorn-cradled freight
  
  is hid but is not crushed;
  
  as Hercules, bitten
  
  by a crab loyal to the hydra,
  
  was hindered to succeed,
- the intensively
  
  watched eggs coming from
  
  the shell free it when they are freed
- as if they knew love
  
  is the only fortress
  
  strong enough to trust to
