On the last evening on this earth, we sever our days from our trees, and count the ribs we will carry along and the ribs we will leave behind, right here . . . on the last evening we bid nothing farewell, we don't find the time to end who we are . . . everything remains the same, the place exchanges our dreams and exchanges its visitors. Suddenly we are incapable of satire since the place is ready to host the dust . . . here on the last evening we contemplate mountains surrounding clouds: a conquest and a counterconquest and an ancient time handing over our door keys to the new time

All day we leave and arrive at the hive,
concelebrants. The hive is love,
what we serve, preserve, avowed in Latin murmurs
as we come and go, skydive, freighted
with light, to where we thrive, us, in time’s hum,

The idea, the teacher said, was that there was a chaos
left in matter – a little bit of not-yet in everything that was –

One winter, he held a rope, lowered me
by the ankles to the wells bottom.
I ascended upside-down through the dark thermometer
with a blood orange in my teeth. He had a beard
of new snow. I held cold to his pant leg
while our dog left and snapped at a sound
in the air only he could hear. When I fell
in love, he reached out to me and held me down
when she slinked away on our dirt road alone,
sheepish, depress. He held me as the constellations

What can I tell you? It was a summer that seemed to be
making history — their personal history — almost before
it began, and they stood back slightly, still in it, but
observing it, saying “the summer this,” “the summer that,”
all the while it was going on. They became obsessed with
a fountain, for example, one they walked past each day,
how abundantly it would reach upwards and yet be pouring
back down itself the whole time — all winter this fountain
had been dry, not saying a word. What more can I tell you?
