I saw birds flying in all different directions and a plane that didn’t look like it was moving at all
On the beach, I heard a woman say, “I’ll take your picture once you finish burying her”
I heard leaves shaking like they were walking behind me I felt the wind inhale and move in endless space
I watched trees undress and stand still
Will you stay? Will I?
I can’t imagine permanence in
long stretches
But, I don’t know how to plant
anything
Is there a place that could stay?
where all these things far away
come together
