Evening succeeds evening.
Rae ArmantroutThe ghosts swarm. They speak as one person. Each has left something undone.
Rae Armantroutan undiscovered tumor squats on her kidney.
Rae ArmantroutI existed finally as the idea of temporal extension.
Rae ArmantroutBut here I hold your dream in my poem.
Rae ArmantroutNow light sits in the chairs
Rae ArmantroutPerfect molecules of plastic sheet the seas.
Rae ArmantroutWe sleep together in the dark but confuse light with love.
Rae ArmantroutSimple
Complex systems can arise
from simple rules.
It's not
that we want to survive,
it's that we've been drugged
and made to act
as if we do
while all the while
the sea breaks
and rolls, painlessly, under.
If we're not copying it,
we're lonely.
Is this the knowledge
that demands to be
passed down?
Time is made from swatches
of heaven and hell.
If we're not killing it,
we're hungry.
