And a handfu...

Misplacing China
...I've almost forgotten it.
It got too big -
holes appeared,
entire towns fell through
my memory.

Go to bed early or stay up late

With my forehead
Touching the ground.

With entreaties
You alone can bear."

this atheist craning his neck skyward

We Are I
...We are one. We are the same. We are I.
We move with the same ligaments, the same joints, the same muscle strings.

Inching slowly into Edgartown.
Twisting along the narrow road,
Sun glinting off windows and
Glancing off the sunglasses
Of people inside the cages

as they released a red heart shaped balloon
craning their necks as it grew into a tiny speck
