Like the sun, I will come out, and like
a prayer I will wash over the
sundry beauties I have known.
One has your name.
I bless things arbitrarily,
for that is what love does, simply transmits
chronicles of laughter and such,
to the deaf unknowing places.
Soon, I would have hoped, there will be
nothing on the planet that is not hear-say
of what I’ve cared for.
Time is running out, as I walk with a sack
of memory, sewing like a mad planter
the countless joys
of luck and grace.
I could add this poem.
But everywhere I go, I am an articulation
of what has loved me,
each step a witness for me to marvel at,
clear as an open field, with blooms.
