is there still time to return
all the things I bought
(for comfort)
in exchange for my absolute
knowledge
that all things are holy?

an egg burst open a pregnant and contagious happiness, immeasurable, runs the
length of my body and cannot be taken away. my harp is a harmonium woven bit 
of tantrum not afraid. of bees a chrysanthemum night-blooming cereus eats these

I am grateful. I couldn't ask for more. I won't.

except everyone's desire is to be known. as close as you can come anyway. what this indicates is complicated. played out so many ways. I remember going through the bible in Ms. Robertson's class. so and so knew so and so. that was short for sex.
