she would vanish forever
into memories that land
gently in The Knowing—
such talent in the sunshine
when she’s gone—
in grief, in sunshine
when she’s gone—
(would she have wanted it
this way?)
stripping myself of the shadow,
in the lights of the sky—
giving myself to a
steganographic peace—
practicing extinction every day
by the blank page—
the utterance of the blank page
is real—
like facing The End—
fading to find emptiness—
how can emptiness
be written inside of you—
I need new words to reach
into another—
all nightmares start
as new words—
Silence will never be forever,
will be reaching most for Death—
but when helpless words
won’t come it is love, always—
I could take this love every time—
it is the time of infinity,
the time of infinite light—
knowing what it is
to always be loved—
