Figure of one

Well, it only dawns twice:
first, in reality;
then as an afterglow.

So, you must run fast,
to master the art of standing still;
and like a dog comes back
to where the bones are buried,
so the bones pine for the dog
to come.

An afterthought is wiser,
and cold,
and soothing, and safe.
Isn't it nice to see
what was
in clear-cut crystals
of ice, and fire?

The child does the figure of one.
You must know.
