IN PART

Sit quiet. Lie still.

Let walls stand, and windows break.

Let fires burn low.

Someone’s set chairs in a circle.

Someone’s wandering asleep in a cursed house.

And the joy that has its home

in the belly at the base of the soul,

let it come, let it go. Let trees be bowed

by weight, let streams race, and moss decay.

The trembling of furred limbs will not cease—

no one’s word, however bold,

will banish this cold. And so, sit for no

portraits, stay for no relinquishings.

There was a moment when I was aware

of beings in the air above my head.
