QUESTIONS
i think i
knew there were
always questions you
put us in
position to have
these questions as
our lives i
think the best
questions go away
& return with
different force with
implications a previously
unfamiliar familiarity i
cannot abide plurals
& here they
are why is
this what you
do with us
BOByes yunte it’s
a question of
windows bob even
had a book
by that one
word title late
march today &
always a window
through which bob
leaves the body
& your son
ira enters as
bob taught in
his nervous graceful
manner word a
place to turn
word allowing us
to say onward
THUDthe lovely weave
of home &
world intimate cherished
words of your
small child blessing
a tenuous immediacy
unseen buildings cast
long shadows power
& its smiling
face one of
the guys organizing
such spectacular grief
surfers at dawn
transport ship along
horizon’s edge news
paper arrives with
a thud at
the blazing door
