Sylvia

Later the whole
generosity
of dogs & the
silver
sun. My loneliness
like a sash
that boat
in the distance.
Triangle
heart. Sylph
w a beard
got wet &
gleam-
ing black.

What I like
about you.

go deeper
now
into the
present
out there
with
the kid
on the swing
everybody
sit there.
Doesn’t
mean I'll be here
when I am.

Kids out there.
What is divinity.
Turns out something
really large
is on the
swing.
