Yet another work in progress.
Janet
Curl
Thin white skin
and bones, in elegant
fingers. All else
is lies. Once to eyes.
Once to hands. Once
to skin. One fire --
forever warm. One water --
never again thirsty. One air --
breathe easy now.
Earth, bury me. Curl, thin,
thin body, thin [I] hand around
the moment, open it, a blanket,
a parachute, a muscle,
awesome wings

Our humanity is diminished when we have no mission
bigger than ourselves.
