    was a crease in the brow
    and silence
    a catastrophe.

    was a mutual smile
    and a glance
    a gift.

    that you’ve made of that love.
    You grovel at my feet
    and I berate you
    and can’t let my anger go.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “Last year is dead, they seem to say,
