what a beautiful thing
the way the sun comes in
through the bathroom window
in the middle of the day when you’re
showering

“There is a difference between one and another hour of life in their authority and subsequent effect. Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual. Yet there is a depth in those brief moments which constrains us to ascribe more reality to them than to all other experiences.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The Over-Soul”
(The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, edited by Brooks Atkinson, Modern Library, 2000)

“Search into the depths of Things: there, irony never descends—and when you arrive at the edge of greatness, find out whether this way of perceiving the world arises from a necessity of your being.”
—Rainer Maria Rilke (Letter Two, excerpt)
(Letters to a Young Poet, translation by Stephen Mitchell, Random House, 1984)
perhaps it’s over i wonder
hovering on top of It
how does it happen?
i wonder
hanging on top of hooks
untitled
i like to walk at night
when the houses are lit
you’re admiring your antique stove with your house guests
my dog is peeing in your lawn
