We Keep Being Born

We can’t keep up, what world is this,oscillation of sheets, thwap of hail,concentric circles of death, new deaths.
Who are we in this life, whose embracehave we lost, how old is old whenbeing born is the same as dying?


To my Daughter, a Dream

You were getting marriedyou wore a cream-colored dress made ofthe softest flowing fabric, decoratedwith gold buttons and there was a hat—
banded with red and black ribbons,I don’t remember the style.Half-awake I thought about the fabric,whether it might be cotton or silk
knitted or woven, how you lookedso beautiful in it, wondered where I could buy it for you. Imagined having a party where you could wear a dress like that—
I know you don’t want to get married.
