PUT ME IN THE BOX WITH EVERYTHING
YOUR SCENT REMAINS EVEN AFTER YOU’RE GONE
LETTERS FULL WITH SILENCE (while you’re asleep)
A LETTER. FOR YOU.
WRITING
I’LL SLEEP (I love it that the night is a woman)
TWO THINGS, TWICE (when you wake up)
I HAVEN’T TOLD YOU, I THINK…
THE YEARNING STRENGTHENS THE GRIP

I’ll sleep in my bed.
while snowflakes howl outside
and my hand quivers with indecisiveness.
I’ll sleep in my bed. to spite
all those premonitions: about my
death, wars, disasters, everything
that would go this or that way. I’ll sleep
in my bed. through the high windows
I’ll watch the snow piling up. I’ll
tuck in my own warmth. I’ll be
quiet and gentle, warm to the cold
of the world. I’m worth more than that.
I’ll sleep with a scent in my nostrils,
full of love, full of peace. I’ll sleep
in my bed, calm and warm.
I won’t think of moving tonight:
this is such a beautiful and strong night,
that at times I wonder
how on earth did I deserve it.
