The episode, the dream, ended. I see the path and the path I stray. To speak thy name—purgation. Saturday,at the hour the veil is thinnest, auburn, where the horizon is thinnest. In the hour my brother hath left me, in an hour, a time, of dying. To even speak thy name. No witness possible for those of us listening to music in our cars on the 405 tonight. All I have learned is to lift my head.

National Poetry Month Day 13: Jos Charles i              A fire upon the hillside.               A grave upon the lane.               Plucking that flower from a hiking trail.               Beneath the balcony you call, first time, this initiate, by her name.               Never going back.
