Simon Perchik<br />
*<br />
By the handful, in tenderness<br />
yet your shadow erupts<br />
and by nightfall holds on<br />
one shoulder then the other<br />
spun as if this dirt would find<br />
the wind it came here for<br />
circle up and cover this place<br />
with your finger touching<br />
the grave skies grow into<br />
and never let go –a parting gesture<br />
collecting darkness with another<br />
helps you leave the way the dead<br />
fill their arms with the Earth<br />
carried around as morning and higher<br />
in stones they know by heart.<br />
