Vocation
The way that spring radiator is colder
than ever, for a start I wish it was winter again —
For a few minutes every day, if I’m luckyI’ll admit the sky
I think,I can’t remember, why
have you hidden your heart on this earth?
But you have hidden your heart on this earth.
beatitude
I will save eternity
for later
for now I’ll leavethe open air
openwhere birds are and go
from herefarther
as singular this earth that has morepears in it and sunlight
everthan sun could
