Darkness and You
You start with a darkness to move through
but sometimes the darkness moves through you.—Dean Young, from “Bright Window” in Skid (University of Pittsburg Press, 2002)

“Because it might help me think of a story.”

“I question what poetry will tremble the wall into hearing or tilt the stone angel’s slight wings at words of the past like a memory caught in elms.”

“
I dreamed I called you on the telephone
to say: Be kinder to yourself
but you were sick and would not answer
The waste of my love goes on this way
trying to save you from yourself
I have always wondered about the left-over
energy, the way water goes rushing down a hill
long after the rains have stopped
or the fire you want to go to bed from
but cannot leave, burning-down but not burnt-down
the red coals more extreme, more curious
in their flashing and dying
than you wish they were
sitting long after midnight
