This one is special. Thank you to Craig Santos Perez and the editors for doing beautiful, saving work—and for including me in it.

Merwin in a stolen moment between first classes today, because is it just me or is time at a gallop:

Going too fast for myself I missed more than I think I can remember

almost everything it seems sometimes

All writers--all beings--are exiles as a matter of course. The certainty about living is that it is a succession of expulsions of whatever carries the life force... All writers are exiles wherever they live and their work is a lifelong journey towards the lost land.

Even this late it happens:
the coming of love, the coming of light.
You wake and the candles are lit as if by themselves, stars gather, dreams pour into your pillows, sending up warm bouquets of air.
Even this late the bones of the body shine and tomorrow's dust flares into breath.
