Winter clears a way
Nothing gold can stay

12.28.2005

Sky empties and empties
Rain falls and falls

Minimal hills
Shining mountain

Food is on the table, the rain comes down
Earth barely warmer, but the weight tremendous

The story of life is stories broken against other stories
The endlessly breaking news betrays a fear of contemplation

Body curls, muscles shrink, gait slows to steady, death waits
Reading a draft of her elegies I realize rain too is a jungle

Time is a journey not a clock
The heart is a clock, the mind is time

A plane exists alongside the world
A world exists alongside the road
