Words can't tell how sad

June 17, 2020

Folder No 7 11.25.11 Plucked Out For Sacred Grounds and to 11.14.12

To Carter

Words can't tell how sad
How mucking around like thick gravy
Emerging, sinking- sitting-
Brown, thick and with pain.
Without you-
Your car not coming to me.
Millions of empty cars
And not your one full one.
If only some of my love
Would draw you back
Or that you could wish 1/10 as me.
The empty horizon sits in my stomach­
Too expansive hurting.
There is a long cloak of forgiveness
Over there rolled up neatly.
Please- go unfold it
As a sheet that covers the floor
Covering cracks and dirt.
