remember this
it’s easy to love
the dead
alien to love
and light
we all have you
within us must
always pretend
something among
the dying unspoken
bond of trust and
sorrow between us
(i spent time today reading Merwin and Jim Lally. My poem is a weaving of a few of their lines.)

Before I got to the endnote, I was thinking this would be a good intro to Jim’s letters to the dead
Lovely.
