:

after Wyeth's "Widow's Walk"


We have begun to say good bye

To each other

and cannot say it

                                    Anniversary Poem


consider:


maybe the thing you love

you love because someone you love

loves it


consider:


cloud cover how the behind of

is visible to the insides

of the sky


consider:


the rope yearns for your nude

and naked palm the pouchy

closure of your hanging on


consider:


rudi nureyev had an agreement

with gravity: sir he said. 

sire Gravity said, bowing first


consider


allowing to be found is a way

of seeing: a kind

of integrity


consider


refusing to overdramatize or

exaggerate you don't need to

defend experience


consider


allowing life

to stand

for itself


consider


meaning to be

an honest record of not

wanting to forget


consider this:


distilled from memories

the meaning (it's worth

considering the meaning)


consider! it is

of life it is meaning

a life.
