Ano Nuevo
My friend in New Mexico writes
"Does 2010 have a rewind button?"
Earthquakes and tsumanis destroy
worlds beyond us, and in my world,
my sons say how tired they are
just keeping up, keeping on.
My heart already a leaden stone,
lowering somewhere in the middle
of my chest (not the habitat
where a heart should be) sinks lower
and lower toward the ground
until I think, This must be the real
meaning of rock bottom.
