and life evaporates as essence.
Bring me the sunflower crazed with light.

EPIGRAPH: Perhaps the hardest thing about losing a lover is
to watch the year repeat its days.
It is as if I could dip my hand down
into time and scoop up
blue and green lozenges of April heat
a year ago in another country.
I can feel that other day running underneath this one
like an old videotape—here we go fast around the last corner
up the hill to his house, shadows
FROM: Glass, Irony and God, (1995), Poem, Canada
