Poems
Mar 2012
The Transcendent Event
will come unpredictably
not surprisingly
the ultimate hardship to be
weathered
luffed through
mercilessness
and squall
and scud
and a nearly drowning
wave
subtle as the
undertow
though weren’t hardships
named this way—
to be sailed?
what would my first breath
have drawn
had I never felt
my own breath now teetering
upon the thread of
disappearance?
what light would my birth
have shone upon me
had I never come to
execrate it
like an immolation?
the ultimate will wedge itself
beating repetitions into you deep
as the deepest—timelessness
remember when you told yourself
remember this?
pounding your chest?
remember it
you were right
