Classic and Contemporary Poetry

FIRST DEGREE by RUTH BEITTEL

First Line: I HAVE PURCHASED MY CALM
Last Line: IT IS MEMORY'S GHOST!
Subject(s): MEMORY;
I have purchased my calm,
I enjoy every breath;
Was the cost very dear?
Just Memory's death.

I am wakeful tonight,
And I search for my host.
Who comes? Great God!
It is Memory's ghost!
