THE WEAVE:
Persephone tucks a letter
into Athena’s overalls
as she passes by her
in the fog…
Change does not have to
be scary. These days,
I pop champagne for Change,
even as it is taking
someone I Love, a Way
from me. Change will
stand on your doorstep,
cool and collected,
and you will grow uglier,
the more you resist it.
You will only run
yourself to Death.
The French say,
"You are missing
from me," reflexively;
speaking more like the Sun,
less like the Moon.
The Moon is who
you are speak to, when
you miss somebody.
"You are missing
from me," like a crater,
now a meteor,
orbiting Orion.
When we miss people,
it is not that we do not
know where they are.
We just do not
know how
to reach them.
