40: Left Over
The remains have sat out;
all grown
up now in
the morning
when I tell
this story
I am worried
you will find me
in yourself
and you will know me
to have become one
of the boxes for these words
are all so tired and used in every race, for every sex:
I am the man you love and you are the man;
love must always bloom, the same blossom: is not the same flower -
what I can make that is new for you, now, as you rise;
should we order something that matters more than all of this
your hands have made
