because of the way she tucks her head into you

i came to a
realization
after a life of loss
that i am grateful
after the war
the bombed out churches
have altars who still stand
st. juliana’s reliquary head
saw it all
and remembers
green grass pairs
of llama with wings
and thanks
the heavens
and personal hell
for
everyday
every picture
every inch between every kiss
for all of it
for every day it was everything
and is everything still
yeah
for all of it
Oh, god,
there it is
peace
you live
i live
we apart
elegant hats
beautiful
i’m taking up knitting
