&quot;everything extraneous has burned away<br /> this is how burning feels in the fall<br /> of the final year not like leaves in a blue<br /> October but as if the skin were a paper lantern<br /> full of trapped moths beating their fired wings...&quot; -Paul Monette

they say there comes a time
when you need to stop crossing oceans
for those who won’t even cross puddles
for you
and yet
my love tells me
it has stride enough
for both of us
