I don’t know if I can take the anticipation. Look at them, look at them.
HOLD ME, INTERNETS. ohh, kids.
But you were young, and you had Plenty of time: Going west, You slept on the train and did not smile. Under you the plains widened, turned silver. You slept with your mouth open. You were nothing, You were snow falling through the ribs Of the dead. You were all I had The Spirit Says, You Are Nothing, Larry Levis
because that is the nature of love, because one walks alone through the ruins of the heart, because the young must sleep with their eyes open, because the angels tremble from so much beauty, because memory moves in orbits of absence, because she holds her hands out in the rain, and rain remembers nothing, not even how it became itself.
This could have been someone who died of lightning long ago: easy to imagine how the skies broke and the fulguration like a skull exploding.
