EMILY AS A SONG FROM THE EMPTY PLACE

Existence 
is 

a rumor.
Emily 

is 
the rumor

of 
the rumor’s 

con-
firmation.

EMILY AS THE RUSTLING OF A WING

The flight is silent,
but I hear Emily
& it doesn’t matter

if she’s about to leave
or if she’s tucked
her wings to land

next to me. Either way
she is the rush of hope
that teases my hair.
