I'll follow
you around
and pick up the pictures
that you never took
when they fall to
the pavement and
are pocked and pitted

Do me a favor and
break the news easy

Give me time
to put some history
in our kisses

apocalypse means to unveil, uncover

I know your game, poet -- how
your words came to rest there, having fallen
from where they were to where
they must be,
like the day when I do laundry.

She who knows that things are not what they seem,
who says only things that are not,
who says very little

Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet (1 Corinthians 15:51-2)

Telling the story of a moment is something that is impossible fully to do, and nevertheless it is something that must be attempted.
