In the first instance I was four.
Then a long-obliterating glance
The sky flashed to take a group-photo,
So long, we say
Holding fast & letting go the same instant
The way children do
Foregoing lightning.

Weep out your divisions,
For Love,

Neither the groceries of love nor
The love of groceries, but for love

Poetry is not about anything,
But those who are about to live,

Would you resemble?

Ever impromptu

Impromptu, — else un-heard

We are each of us buried in multiple graves.
My mother
In at least 3.
I am one of these.
