Speaking

 How one returns from heaven or honey 

It’s pains how sticky 

the farmer, driving his empty 


truck through the beautiful 


maples of spring, never gets to the telling 


of it. Especially as the sage sways


He never gets to the telling of it


Even the way you look up at me


Late in the evening right before sleep


With your eyes that I cannot read


In the gray blue essay of yours


knowing I do not stand a chance


In your ache


We cannot keep silent


We cannot keep silent


In hours and in days


How easy one cannot say


How one returns from heaven.
