The Grove of Graves Like Flowers

I like looking at the other side—the side

that’s not
opposed

to death.

The side that accompanies us to the beach, and moves us
like marionettes. The side that

grows a new face every second,

tufts of grass like hair flowing to the water.

A sugar
factory, small, emitting sweet gusts.

A blackbird flies
through

the lines of a bridge. He is constant. I am not

as soccer players suffer in the hot field.
