1/25/2020 POETRY: EMILY LUSCREAMING INTO A PIANO … The pictures captured a mood of as much astonishment as joy; it was as if the delegates could not quite believe they had succeeded in reaching an agreement of such significance. - Amitav Ghosh Recalling decision 1 / CP.17 on the establishment of a room wide enough to hold your imagining. Like the moon fallen onto the field, new & mistaken by my aunt for a spaceship. Also recalling relevant decisions to respond to everything by screaming. Rain lines. Parts per million diluted light. Each acre along this river & if there are still children blowing tufts int o forg iv e n e s s Welcoming the adoption of planned repairs for the south entrance north alley west gate. Recognizing that even in crossing towards it I would stubbornly remain a parallel incident. Reimagining no one there. Back bicycle wheel spinning hillside. Throwing the moon. Acknowledging that agreeing to uphold & promote revisions ought to be enough this time. Singing.
