The last three days worth of poems

When building space stations,
space itself
is a matter of concern:
the space around
the station itself,

the too cramped
space within

room for little
except to breathe


Lingering,
yesterday’s image
now
nurtured,
keeping 
all
near,
not
escaping--
conversations in the hall
something about
poetry

The ache
of the impossible

Finally, this spring
a day with
warmth

 
That some truck
hit a bridge
so that the train
was delayed
and I caught
busses
instead.

Chaos of contingency
and accident

(In the rush
I almost forgot
your birthday)
