MEETING PLACES
"It isn't that one brings life together--it's
that one will not allow it to be torn apart."
Muriel
Rukeyser
Why we are the way we are
beats hell out of me, Muriel,
you here in so many ways
feels like a pulse. When
I had begun
to say has
something to do
with your earlier one. What
begins when we still don't know
creates unbound commons of
gratitude, grace's way of handing
on your word, where poems arrive
as energy fields. Who anticipated
transfer from poet to reader
mirroring time travel of water
from root to apex of the ancient fir?
That slow construct and discharge.
However, never how, not report---making.
