To Take Note of Where We Are

Plainly spoken, I am responding to you.

Despite our best efforts to will it shut,

the proof of the world’s existence

can best be seen in its insistence,

in its opening up. Should we get lost,

let us be lost in a familiar space, surrounded

by every motion of the unnamed and unseen

until the moment they appear. With the sofa

in a slightly different place this morning,

the room resembles a dream of the room:

the details remain present and realistic

while everything bends toward one wall

in particular. I know what you want,

but the wind will not concern itself with us.
