Reunion


Snow over the scarred fields just ending, between clouds
a candle in a horse skull
moon
at dawn--
My sin is always before me.


In the end the price of understanding
everything will be, of
its communication
to those who stand around you,
the complete and absolute
impossibility,
but


does this mean
I won't remember
Earth? Perhaps
it does, but
I don't know.
Soon I will find out.


Snow over


the scarred fields
just ending,
what lies
before me is my past.
That is,


should I father a fatherless child.
