SAVED,

many things fall

into the baskets of memories

because

even this age of night

will have its fossils

the black-bordered elegies

of its crookedly piled dust.

Maybe too

the heavens

we’ve left behind

these pale blue stones

set down in other hells

will practice healing magic

and your dying words

will

in the griefwind

in the cold yoke

of stretching limbs

breathe for aeons

and

like glassblown shapes

bend the vanished form of love

for the mouth of a god—

SO IST’S GESAGT—
