2022

 notice the rage

notice the silence —
silence and the presence
        of everything:

small truths
        and other surprises
what we nurture
how we live with loss
        saved by the beauty of the world

seeking language
        large enough
a life worthy of our breath

when no question
        seems big enough:

what if we get this        right?

this tiny slice of eternity —
mathematics, mystery,
        and the universe —

this fantastic argument
                        of being alive.
