AFTER THE LONG ENDURING

for Charles

After the long enduring,

The agony of staying alive

With AIDS inside you,

You who noticed everything

With wide open eyes,

The veins in a leaf or a wrist,

Ladybird on a grass blade at rest,

They told me, “Charles is blind.”

“Blind,” is what they said.

Remember the salamander

You found in the bird bath

One summer,

A vermilion streamer?

The solitary doe at dusk

Stamping and huffing

In the luscious field?

Rilke tells you

With great tenderness,

Einblick, my friend,

Inwardness, in-sight.
