Wish In the interval between wakingand knowing,for a moment,less than a moment,I forgot you had died. The crashing blissonly dawned asI knew my mistake.Bent in half and heavingas one never does again.

When Children I don’t want to sentimentalize their lives,Lives I wouldn’t want to live, but did, Happily as most children, thoughI wouldn’t eagerly again.  It was a life Lived for children and dependent uponChildren’s spark, dark and childish In their absence.  Its glees were simple as bellsRing, gold coins spill, a priest sings. But kids are mostly quick, get up and get out,Leaving behind what’s best left but not  Without remorse.  They return, but can’t,So when they do they dull too which can’t be Proved, rebuked, or ignitedBy metaphor, for who are these parents But blunderers like you and me, adult othersAs unlike us as our origins, full of hope and Children hopping around and off, becauseDespite our hopes there’s only love to hold us Here, a love without hope except for childrenQuick to grow and go to the coast or, better, Cross to Italy, beautiful Italy, where the futureLacks capital to oppress the persisting.      Dia Chelsea FALSE DD/MM/YYYY Deborah Garrison and Gary Lenhart
