“Life”


Under the daily detrition of our calm
lie shadows, and within those shadows
is the essence of our recovery. Flux

is the richness of things, and the outermost
planets alive in our personal space
may collide often, but the integrity

wielded by their touch remains ours,
and the jagged guesstimates we make
will never pierce our peace.

* *

Submission each evening, routinely decorous
to the TV, or even to each other’s bodies,

is to eschew shadows to ease
our guts away from the perplexity

that gives wauling sense to each atom
of life as it’s born, for us to care for

perhaps solemnly, perhaps lightly, but always
it’s the concave watersheds they bring

that our eyes grasp, and sometimes hold.
