Little death song
at the undertaker’s I
shall lie in the light
I shall have no body
to give to age to tend

O tempora o mores
the long game is out
the lottery is in
shall the road and the light
come again to be ash
Strigiform
an owl comes
full of night
and light as
all the life
it might
eat
Chapeau
give me a hat
like an ambassador to the air
warm and light
and I go fresh to my thin ice
Holy warrior
a tumor of religion
resolving to die at absolute noon
the fire plots to bury light
in ash
A certain slant of light
I search my ears for clear words
no spittle or rattle
eyes shut like a stone
lips working on why
I must give thanks
the more unthankful my life
in the little blue chamber of grief
I could not sleep nor wake
In extremis
pain coming
a drowned light in the sand
white pain comes to me as lace
and I am itself
the cast of a person
I never saw before
Winter harbor
ice busy with light
freights the yachts
my wild joy at this
other life
Forest moth
a moth in the woods is her own light
serving not the expected dark joy
but haste and a heart studious to be a room
Isolationist
to live like a lock
exact and satisfied
so fine a contrivance
in such a grotto
but then to have
no light dancing on the sea
and the sea rocking at a distance
in every body
Funereal
meeting with great quiet
as if in an urn
hearing a crow
took us to the light
wise were we that had
no itch to pray
In the wee hours
a dull light
far out on the land
the fine fur of my fear
of being nothing
