i don’t know, from day

i don’t know, from day
to day, what kind of world we
will be waking up

in. you asked does it matter?
it has always been this way

there is beauty in

in between the sips

in between the sips
we take of one another,
let us bump into

unidentifiable
things, savor uncertainty

mid-flight, thoughts crossing

mid-flight, thoughts crossing
state lines, each one still holding
onto a piece of

you, despite the rattling
of wings, life’s uncertainty

uncertainty can
catch us
with any one
of her many
devices –
a hook, a net,
a parapet,
certainty

for every place

for every place
where i feel like i
belong, there is
also a harmonic
uncertainty –
listen more
closely, here
comes a
repeat sign

we are born

we are born
unequal
– the young
man being verbally
abused by his
mother on the
train is not the
fourteen-year-old
girl being
intimately
questioned on the
sidewalk by her
social worker is not
the sweetheart in her
mother’s doting
arms is not the
college-bound
boy learning to be
brave on his
own – we are
born unequal,
and even then,
none of it
is for certain

there are a handful

there are a handful
of things
about keeping
time that leaves
uncertainty –
springing forward,
falling back,
marking the
certainty
of your death
on two calendars.
if tonight’s moon
looks like the same
moon that took
you, give
us a sign that
time will move on
