I make life, which is a prayer.

I make clean bones.

I make a gray zinc noise

which to me is a song.

Well, heart, out of all this

carnage, could you do better?

Sunset II

Sunset, now that we're finally in it

is not what we thought.

Did you expect this violet black

soft edge to outer space, fragile as blown ash

and shuddering like oil, or the reddish

orange that flows into

your lungs and through your fingers?

The waves smooth mouthpink light

over your eyes, fold after fold.

This is the sun you breathe in,

pale blue. Did you

expect it to be this warm?
