Better To Do
0621.2024
Please don’t tend
Then yield to
The reign of sadness
Upon your back,
Or its weight -
And the shadow
Burying its dead
Between your breasts -
Don’t listen
Or look
(Because…)
What was it
Someone said?
I forget
Star gazing -
Behold this vast heavenly body
All Aflame in the sky’s night -
Behold its eyes watching back,
Its secret part of your blood -
Behold Beloved,
Behold this Love -
(That’s why)
