Home

the way light remembers

this face the sky

this flesh the land

the rivering of my days

 

language, driven from my body,

like a thunderstorm

sometimes I feel so much

 

the softening apple in my chest

the bigger part of me is forgiveness

the small learning of my hands

 

the place I now come to

the kindness of memory

the un-spilling of my tongue

 

the giving inside these arms
