Diehard

JUDITH MOFFETT

DIEHARD

At first blush, discomfiting

to turn so beyond belief

credulous no time after the creed

failed than which anything

must have seemed less

unbelievable-Yeti, UFO

spacecraft, witchcraft,

monster in Loch Ness-

till time told why

any world's more likely

than one whose truths all

always meet the eye.
