A shh that speaks
You cannot see it if
You cannot say it
And yet…
There is a shh
That speaks to our knowing

language for no language
One of the things a poet works at for the rest of us is developing a language for things for which we have no language. For instance, death.

In the dying room
Being in the dying room the task is witnessing. You witness my dying, ask me about what is going on, what I’m thinking with a far away look. I witness to you my thoughts, prayers, wishes, needs, and not having needs, so your time will be known a little. Thus we love one another. Parent, child, spouse.

Life and the dying
Is this subject legal? Well, is it illegal? It is living. That’s what I want to lead us to learn: life and the dying of it.
