It Is Almost


What moves not only thought but kisses you
Who should have been just whoever?
Instead you are this thing to me these
Constellations more ancient than what?
What might recognize itself in this conversation
See its own grace? What refuses to look?
We offer such incautious words to the night
We offer the moon such milkdrunk syllables
Stop singing you know I can’t stand
That strange curse when I come down
These rocks with my arms full
When I climb down the cliffs with my rifle
You say the smallest voice may raise
A mountain that could stop a hero's heart
