     Addition to My Dewar Nameplate


I'm told, ten billion years ago, that all
My atoms burned in stars; then exiled long
To space and cold, returned at last in thrall
To narrow solar climes where life may spawn.
I hear, a million years ago, the cries
Of rage; my fathers burned their hands with flame,
Yet feared more outer night and all its eyes
And found at last the middle safe domain.
I knew, a hundred years ago, the sear
Of lust that never lasts; but all its cease
Meant not that I could live outside your sphere,
And back I crept to you for light and peace.
  And now, cold ash of living's fiery pace,
  Again I `wait your warmth, my middle place.


                              -- S. Harris
