Running Backward
Under my Grandmother’s Stars
Darkness collects in the fields,
Spreads the distance that
No one wants to see.
The days vanish,
And in their place-
A Super Moon.
Remember to dream
In your native language.
It takes years to see something else,
Space that bends backward toward us,
It takes years to feel something else.
I forget what it means.
But what it means is
The only world I have,
Is the only thing I know.
