And there is a moment
And for a second it all makes sense
And then it slips
And you end up chasing that something-or-other all your life

Moment
once outside
Bumblebees
tumbling about
drunk on nectar
dropping from blossom to bud
crashing into bees and walls
zigzagging
into people
spring to summer
one great party
from dawn to dusk
Remember

lacrimosa
it starts in the heart
and sweeps out in a wave,
up the larynx
into a mouth, wide open
a cry so loud
all who have eyes shed tears
and all who can see
weep
with anger
and anguish
for now
and again now
and again
now
and again now, now
now
there is no time
between the call
and response
there is no time
to wait
for now it is life or death:
the care of peace or the chaos of despair

necessity
strange, this
offering up words
yourself, in parts

moment
century old pillars
curving to light
coffee wafting underneath
