FIRST AND FINAL

so distant, so

far-flung

the first and final

story

does not reach us

those who know

removed from

us in

space

and time

and yet even

our ordinariness is

a miracle

our

mundane world a

work of art

just peep through the

curtain

and there you are

peeping through the curtain

catching yourself

as if

on camera, as

if a moment for all time
