“If you are still alive when you read this,
close your eyes. I am
under their lids, growing black.”

to a child’s grave is
to lie down before it and play dead.”
Bill Knott
“From heart to heart
a heartbeat staggers, looking for a haven.
Bereft. It is easier to enter heaven
than to pass through each others' eyes”

“FOOTNOTE
All of us who lived on Earth
and all our loves and wars
may not appear at all
in the moon's memoirs.”
