Forget

I never forget 
where but frequently
forget when maybe
there is like
a rock and
then is water

First

We often 
need one
to find
the other
for without
the first
we don’t
know if
the second
even exists

Small

Every moment 
of every
life that
is or
ever has
been has
led us
all up
to this
I feel
terribly small

Ex

What’s done 
is done
and what’s
over is
over there’s
too much
living left
to do

Rest

My one thing 
to do is
write not love
but love I
do that too
not sing but
songs I sing
not run for
stroll will do
mostly I sit
and quietly wander
watching the rest
