the secret of life is decisiveness
and to describe something
i see the distance and move immediately into it
now i am really alone
from here i know these things: that i feel like a lonely fist,
that my poems exist to dispel irrational angers, that i want to hold your face
with my face
like a hand;
the secret of life is that i miss you, and this describes life
tonight my heart feels shiny and calm as a soft wet star
i describe it from a distance, then move quickly away
