Damn

“Suddenly
I’m stretched enough to call certain of my days
the old days, remembering how we burned
to hear of the destruction of the world,
how we hoped for it until many of us were dead,
the most were lost, and a couple lucky
enough to stand terrified outside the walls
of Jerusalem knowing things we never learned.”

“This is the moment you’ll seek
The words for over the imitation
And actual wood of successive
Tabletops indefatigably,
When you watched a baby child
Catch a bee against the tinted glass
And were married to a deep
Comprehension and terror.”

“It was a summer of wistaria.”

“I felt the beauty of the morning. I could understand how a drowning man might suddenly feel a deep thirst being quenched.”
