In the evening when the sky has turned

that certain blue

and we park our bodies on a bench above the city

like defendants on trial

after the day has refused to testify,

I shall be examined on love and forced to speak from my

heart

And when the evening is over and it’s late,

retired for the night, I shall stay up

and run back over the questions,

what’s true, what’s false, what unknown quantity

will balance the equation, what it will mean years from now

to look back and know

I did not fail.
