HOW TO DIE

How to die
To love each other as though they are your own life
As though they are life itself

How to die
Like light filling sound and shape
As natural as they are to space

How to
Die loving deeply
Each and every death

Loving each infinity unsetly
Spooling film in green
Wiping out sextillion

How permanence figured
Bright and warm iterable
Sounds spooling

How to die
Loving deeply every other other
And every breath is luminous and gold

How to love dying
Each death loved
Loving impermanence in death’s gold

Pounding out, pounding out
Light compresses in lashes
Radiant impermanence in gold

Bright perfuming air
Pervading the fire of light and love
Pounding out
