AGAINST GRAVITY

How do we move

under weight?

What opposite force

do we generate

that keeps our clothes

floating around us,

for instance, or goes

any distance toward

explaining our fondness

for jumping?

Some pump,

like a fish tank’s, maybe;

some auto-aeration or something.

Because we’re glad some mornings,

and buoyant, as though we had

no bombs or appointments.

LACUNAE

Lacunae aren’t

what was going to be

empty anyway.

They aren’t spaces

with uses, such as

margins or highway edges.

Lacunae are losses

in the middles of places—

drops where something

documented happened

but the document is

gone—pond shaped

or jagged.
