to ask the watchman
if the pestilence had come
to wittenberg before he had
the east gate
was opened like an eye
and the morning’s early sun
that had risen from where it waited
its shining entered
the town like a tide -

Now it is stuck in my head because I apparently never looked at them as I was stuffing them in my mouth.
It's like the winning lottery numbers in that old fortune cookie I threw away years ago all over again. Sigh.
I don't believe I was always so oblivious to details but here I am.
