I Wanted: An Old Poem Revised for the New Year
Thursday, January 3, 2013
I
Wanted
I wanted the whole moon
white where it is, blue how it
falls.
I wanted the earth,
collapsing and folding.
I wanted the ocean to rise
and unberth us.
I wanted the loudest thing
in the morning light
to be my heart,
still beating.
The short break
in a long poem.
The glass to stop
breaking.
Trespass.
