Fear

by Charles Simic

Fear passes from man to man Unknowing, As one leaf passes its shudder To another.

All at once the whole tree is trembling, And there is no sign of the wind.

The essential experience: the body sensing itself existing; the mind going its own way.

Fear passes from man to man Unknowing, As one leaf passes its shudder To another. All at once the whole tree is trembling, And there is no sign of the wind.

— Charles Simic, "Fear" in "Dismantling the Silence" (HarperCollins, 2001)
