HERON
so many stars
the river reflects them
a heron
(blue)
splash landing
deletes them
looks at me with its yellow eye
as if to tell me
yes, one day
this
is how it will be

LIGHTS OUT
lights out for you
for me
lights out for us both, for
us all
to the edge
of infinity
and we haven’t even talked
had dinner together
and what
comes after
and so now we know
there ain’t no after
so wrap yourself
in your body blanket
construct
a Faraday cage
dig around to uncover
a shovel put
together a bunker
maybe unearthing
signs
of comet impacts
and lost
civilizations
all the way down
I wished we might
go down
