To try to like anything deeper than sex
(unless it leads to that)
just makes me sleepy now.
My heart's a backward
heading-forward engine
quieting and cooling.
Heart, be something other
than a heart
with its back turned to me.
It grieves me that grief repeated
like a word repeated faithfully
has no sense to it.
Everything blurs except the blurring.
The first day I feel good again
will be like entering this little room
I've left the lights on in
and passing out, no problem.
