You tell yourself

You tell yourself it will do no good

To acknowledge the child who floated in the beads of the ultrasound or the mantras of the obstetrical attending—

It is for her best not to know

Or the terrible error in calculating

The time it takes to unpack and repack a Pilot

A truck, an Accord, a house, a life

You tell yourself

It would have happened by now

The Icarus Moment

The violent fall

When an ordinary man walks into light eternal

Only to become it

We will all be changed

Some moments last for all

Eternity

I used to live in a country

I used to live in a country

Where people ate the soul and flesh of both men and animals

Fish dinners too terrible to recount

Little bears with amputated paws

So when you tell me

The living have lost their

Eyes, their lungs, their tongues, their voices, their unborn children

I will believe you

Even though I do not want to

Doppelgänger

Sarah? He asks on the street by the Rucker library

I look bewildered. No, not Sarah

You look so much like her!

Dark? Pretty? Young?

We never met

But recently it has been happening again—over and over

So many times

In Spanish and in other tongues—

Fatima? Esperanza? Rachel?

Who are they now?

Grey! Rumpled! Doughy!

We are a sisterhood across decades and barricades

The Sarahs by the library of now

Beauty behind, light ahead

Unrequited

The Master says he is going on a long journey and that we should keep watch, he can return at any moment, like a thief in the night.

The canine sentinels sound their alarm as clouds gather fast

Across the face of a radiant moon

For now, unrequited
