You Who I Will Never Hold
I may love your forever
you, who I will never hold
a relationship based on intimacy
of feelings, of thoughts
always yearning
always disappointed
never satisfied
never full
the desire to die
or to be fulfilled
wishing for the hunger to cease
or be satisfied
the flame to be extinguished
before it destroys
how do I live with this desire
this hunger
this flame
we met at the wrong time in this life
too late
but even so
I may love you forever
you, who I will never hold

Poem: be aware
Short excerpt from the new book-length erasure poem, BAD THINGS HAPPEN.
the evil
in this world
troubled
human history
call for help
LISTEN
in confidence ask
begin to understand
discern wisdom
LISTEN
open your eyes
BAD THINGS HAPPEN
be aware
BAD THINGS HAPPEN
they have been
deluded
they bought into
deceit
words
deluded them
LISTEN
you were captive
to traditions
you were buried
you were dead
you were hostile
you judged
defrauded
your mind
BAD THINGS HAPPEN
your freedom
distressed people
LISTEN
you learn
significant truths
BAD THINGS HAPPEN
