“And the truth becomes a hole, something one has always known,
A heaviness in the trees, and no one can say
Where it comes from, or how long it will stay
A randomness, a darkness of one’s own.”

not flinching from her black breath
gave her his arm....”

like an invisible veil between us all . . .
and sometimes in private,
my kitchen, your kitchen,
my face, your face.”
