~*~*~*~*~*~*~

why should we sit by the adige and destroy
anything, even our enemies, even the prey
god caused to glitter for us
defenseless in the sun?
we are not exhausted. we are not angry, or lonely,
or sick at heart.
we are in love lightly, lightly. we know we are shining,
though we cannot see one another.
the wind doesn’t scatter us,
because our very lungs have fallen and drifted
away like leaves down the adige,
long ago.

we breathe light.

(from 'yes, but' by james wright)
