lost in the vague geography of words
where we find ourselves again

And isn’t everything risk?
The beloved lives
Then dies,
Then (if we’re lucky)
Rises again
Into a poem or song
Or into the world
In some other form
Impossible to predict.
Simplest story, oldest tale:
Sparrows sing it
From every hedge;
And swallows, also,
From their nests on the ledge.
[And isn’t everything risk?], Gregory Orr

Paul Chan on Love Is Blind (4Colmns)
