"Poem"
Light clarity avocado salad in the morning
after all the terrible things I do how amazing it is
to find forgiveness and love, not even forgiveness
since what is done is done and forgiveness isn't love
and love is love nothing can ever go wrong
though things can get irritating boring and dispensable
(in the imagination) but not really for love
though a block away you feel distant the mere presence changes
everything like a chemical dropped on a paper and all thoughts
disappear in a strange quiet excitement
I am sure of nothing but this, intensified by breathing
(1959)
