Fascicle [12]

twelve

It is the urgency that must be attended.
I don’t know love’s configuration
when absent. I am not even I. The load
of love. The spell of presence.

Vex the space that woos time to a stop.
There is no other language: 
The tree outside your window. A storm
inside that pours gently over leaves.
