Can it be—that all our lives we’re

just funny shaped cups and mugs:

sometimes clear, sometimes not,

sometimes chipped, sometimes

too hot to hold?

Can it be—the whole sorry struggle

for a self is just to have something

sturdy enough to carry the love?

MUSIC TO READ WIND BY

When I decide I love you just as you’ve

left town, when you muster the courage

to forgive your father and go to say so

only to find he’s had a stroke, and you

never know what he hears as I never

know where you are, when I hold my

face to the wind and my questions dis-

appear—it’s the music of near misses that

lets me know that my heart is just a reed.
