let’s collect enough

let’s collect enough
golden hours in a lifetime
to string a necklace

longer than the horizon,
more weightless than our eyes can see

in every lifetime

in every lifetime
and every culture, there will be
zombies or mummies

waiting for you in the dark –
bring your curiosity

here and there, we will

perhaps falconers

(for the falconer in central park, 1871)

perhaps falconers
will train a number of falcons
in a lifetime, so

losing an original
was always bound to happen

when this is all

when this is all
over, we will not try
to revive any
of it, not try
to recall the degree
of paralysis, not
try to recollect
the isolation, a
lifetime in limbo,
we will only
remember and
release, remember
and release,
remember and
release, release

presence will cure most

presence will cure most
ails, drive away some demons, sign

so much pain and love

so much pain and love
goes into a real shouting
match – a lifetime spent

fueling each other can wake
even the neighbors, naturally

vivienne, you are

vivienne, you are
exercising those powerful
lungs from the second

floor, ready for a lifetime
of song and dance, some shrieking

each time you pull

for dad

each time you pull
out a special tool
for fixing the things
that break, you teach
us how to hold
the problem in
our hands, engage
in solutions, find
the edges of
every rule.
equipped with
a lifetime of
tools, we still
find your love
immeasurable

it takes a lifetime

it takes a lifetime
to learn about symmetry
adjust our angles,
update hypotheses,
fine-tune our
intersections –
everything is
unusual until
we attain
a breath-
holding balance
