"for life is not a paragraph, and death, i think, is no parenthesis"


i.
a ghost from life
     put me on a ferocious need,
          a frantic journey.
he haunts my mornings,
     my days,
          my nights.
i work to smile,
     he lingers in my desire
          as an angel.
but when this picture fades,
i see him as he
  truly was.
ii.
i have embraced
the throbbing ache,
  which is vast.
remembering the
joyous times brings me
  to my knees.
old, sacred voices
whisper in my dreams,
  “let go.”
my need has dissipated,
      epiphanies let peace descend
               over my heart.
