The Feelings of Loss, Like Tiny Droplets, Do Gradually Accumulate

                            

By nightfall god bless the wind raking
across day. The Japanese lantern
sways & burns without help. The black
goldfish does not understand much
or at all. The night is powered by jasmine.
The water does not wake. By nightfall
god bless the crossbeams. By nightfall
I have not grown since.

 


The Circle of Breath That Surrounds You
Even Christian Babies Cry
