Forgetting (4/24/25)

​

Room 

Window

Light

 

Dust

Air

Breath

 

Sigh

Eye

Rest

 

I sit daily uncaressing your knee

In a space vacated by

            traces of traces

            and lonely forgotten things

            who soon I’ll join

 

​

​​

The Gateless Gate (4/11/25)

 

Today it rained and then was sunny

Tomorrow will rain and be sunny again

 

I touched the day and did not touch it

Tomorrow I will touch and not touch it again

 

This winter I felt you and still did not feel you

Your bullet struck me hard and warm and yet did not

 

When I called, you came and still did not come

When I turned, you were there and yet were not

 

O this gateless gate of spring

​

​

Once again I

Imprison myself in

Binds made of

My mother’s loss.

 

Other lives

Saw me sitting

Burdened as ever

By old karma.

​

Saw your negative again

Hanging like a

Sunflower’s ghost

 

Ghosts beg us

Not to remember but

To forget
