-
this moment—what is it—just
-
My imperfect heart which prefers
-
the amazing desire / that keeps me alive, though the face be still, be still,
-
And suddenly a few elephants—
-
It involves a ritual & a speechless messenger,
-
In the other world, Prince whispers to every dove: cry, cry,
-
and when I turned to look back I did not recognize a thing
-
It’s not like we can choose what spears us through the heart.
-
My sister tells me she is a bird.

It was an alphabet on top
