“Early Days”
Can you recall?
Short simple phrases
Smoothed wooden tools
Soft amber
Utilitarian, warm
Pleasant on a shelf
The incense is in my mouth
I'm thinking about fall apples
What’s it mean to be in love with someone
and see the space between you that has to exist
White thorns, dust
A smoken river
Soft sweet-scented wood dust
Ancient duff, duff of the now
May I read the records of your experience?
Please
Can I run my finger over the part where you eat an apricot in the sun?
It’s my favorite
A stone eyelet in the water
Rimmed by cold setting suns
Heat braced, freezing
Now I’m thinking about the sea again
Now I’m thinking about you
Now I’m thinking about how hard it would be to explain why this moment is important to anyone
but you
I’m at the altar now
The tables been set
It is an auspicious day
Tabla rasa
Can I offer a prayer for u
Where would I find you? Where would you find me
What are the places we’d be looking for each other
Each morning I say 108 prayers for you
Are you looking for you?
