the sadness before separation
x
fall will turn to winter
after the letting go
don’t go away
I must
there are things for me
on the other side
and I am called
I have been suffering
all that will change now
x
this is what to feel for now
the sadness before separation
it’s easier to say
for now
x
the greater pain is coming
the confusion of mortality
the letting go

Anticipation
(in pandemic time)
x
A day of
Thanksgiving
Is a week or so
From now
x
The Canadians
Had theirs on
Traditional
Columbus Day
And my sister’s
Birthday
x
We could combine
The two (not
the birthday) and
Thank first people
For tying up our
Boats, once
We got here
And then have
A national apology
Day for what was
Done to them
Next and since
It’s going to be
A bitterer day,
Anyway
x
Maybe we should
Thank the thankless
For a change,
Which would add
Some sweetness
x
And bittersweet
Ain’t bad
x
There’s wisdom
In it, for it’s
A quality
Both positive
And tempered
x
A good
Thanksgiving,
USA, once we get
There and in
Anticipation

Better Kilig
for Rosema
my friends in Tagalog
tell me that kilig means
tingling anticipation
right before sensation
and then the sensation,
too
a good word revealing
prospects of all kinds
of pleasure
God invented this, you
know—and if thinking
about God and pleasure
seems out of sorts to
you,
then let’s re-think
pleasure
