At a certain point during war,
you’ll wander out
among the galaxies,
among the whirling particles,
and ineffable numbers,
Feeling something that has no name,
like a thunderbolt through darkness
A storm unpredicted,
The horrible errors of our childhood,
Seeing with my inward eye,
A natural reaction to moving closer to the truth,
Life’s continuing promise,
Grounded in love
—I like listening to you
