Amulet
2017-2021
Always I have been afraid
of this moment:
of the return to love
with perspective.
I see these breasts
with the others.
I touch this mouth
and the others.
I command this heart
as the others.
I know exactly
what to say.
Innocence has gone
out of me.
The song.
The song, suddenly
has gone out
of me.
-And She Waiting, Jack Gilbert
