The warp of grief against time-space. I feel I have done more things
for the first time this year than any other, can't be
the truth when this is my one body, singular light, present year, present
year, present year, every year. The sun doesn't
just rise. Every instrument of the orchestra
can be a weapon. The mouth. The hand. Ours. There is no invisible hand.
Would like to say love you without possession but it is my love, my solar flare
burning in my solid hand. So sense is made. I apologize, I mean, I make. I would
like to kiss you. My mother hungering and her mother closing her eyes to it
could be sharp enough when rubbed
to make fire out of stones but the sun
rises and we are responsible.
And in winter I will yearn for
this tropical warmth. This heavy heat like friendship
or secret. When it takes all twenty-eight
questions to get to the answer, but we
get to the answer. By this point, maybe
asking is the cataclysm. Signifying
lack. This is my empty, shaped astounding-
ly or possibly, like you.
If I looked through the human shaped
tunnel I made in the overgrowth could I see my past
self at the mouth of it? Could I love that
scarless body entering the woods? Maybe in fall.
What do you think? Marina told me to live the day and report back tomorrow.
