Death appeared with a phone call

Death

appeared with a phone call

from a neighbor~

a beautiful story ending

with painful blessings

gracing this news~~

(for Gary)



Never

the same

happening never

before or again~

continuity builds a

narrative as a

happening which

is gone already~~



Paradox

a gift to the seeker

inviting resonance

with an impossibility~~
