worlds colliding
the collision of worlds
slamming+lysergic
did that day really happen? (ie.,Nov 14/22)
those people? those years?
now spat out on the shore of a
foreign land strangered +surreal
how many death/rebirth cycles does
it take to change a lightbulb?
to get to a place where you realize
that none of it really matters what was was
said my now 15 wks dead mother
all that matters is the air in your lungs in this
unsung moment (am i turning into Ram Dass?!😱)
are you a woman or a mouse? dead or alive?
you may not even know like the angels who are
said to not know whether the humans they walk
among are dead or alive
telltale signs of life:
my paternal great grandmother Molly Newman
had 5 children crossed the Atlantic at 30 with 4
of ’em dead by 39 uterine cancer
we are likely overthinking the questions

(her fate..had Mollie Newman not left Poland)
..live the questions now.. perhaps then someday
far in the future.. you will gradually.. without even
noticing it.. live your way into the answers..
(Rainer Maria Rilke Letters To A Young Poet)
Winter 2023 ..live dammit live!..
