Great poem. Helps me manage my feeling of loss.
for LC
I was going to list your loss
as the topper
to a very bad week–
first America
and now you
but your words
listened to with eyes closed
say you would have waited for this
eager, open to the possibility
of more direct wrestling
with angels.
Maybe this crack
in my skin
in my heart
in my hope
is not me mourning
but simply opening
to incandescence
I would rather live lit
than broken.
