Chapbook poem a day. might avail myself of these prompts to finish my Lifeguard book..

 Before you go

Before your mouth falls away into invisibling ash

and cannot same my name

(or yours)

Let us speak of how you might try

through what? a slant of light

an adagio

a quaking leaf

to modify

(i'm sure without hands)

without will?

a surface of this world

to announce yourself

to call to me

to remind

remind

as if you needed to

of you, of me, of of

And let us speak of how I might try

When also gone vanished, to connect with you

How will we, as light waves,

as magnetic fields,

as vapor or less

meet?

Let's sort this out now.

Let's make a plan.
