“I now know pain
is part of any journey-
that this is the opposite
of grief, but grief
the only way I know
to describe waiting
and waiting without
knowing, hoping one day
joy will arrive.”

“Deep Song
Belief is what
buries us—that
& the belief in belief—
No longer
do I trust liltlessness
—leeward
is the world's
way—Go on
plunge in
—the lungs will
let us float.
Joy is the mile-
high ledge
the leap—a breath
above the lip of the abandoned
quarry—belief
the dark the deep.”
