Remember whatever pain you bring back
from your dreaming
but do not look for new gods
in the sea
nor in any part of a rainbow
Each time you love
love as deeply as if it were
forever
only nothing is
eternal.
'For Each of You', Audre Lorde
* * *
The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
'Anthem', Leonard Cohen
* * *
When I wake, I lift cold water
To my face. I close my eyes.
A body wishes to be held, and held, and what
Can you do about that?
