in the shower is

a girl without her glasses
on – compassion plays no part

there’s a rule about

there’s a rule about
not looking up and into
the sun – when we break

the rule, can we start over,
be blind for an eon longer?

even blindfolded
musicians can feel the stars
coming on – riding

across those long orbital

at varying degrees, we learn

at varying degrees, we learn
to close our eyes, to be
tempted, to loosen the
hinge on what we see,
to be found –
if held
for a moment

we could
almost hear the
world tucking
up its edges
as it retreated –
for god’s sake
don’t peek

an arbitrary
timeline, that it matters
little whether we call
it a full lunar or
civil year since his
passing

loss is still
the length of an
immeasurable vowel
staggering blindly
in the pit of your throat
