When Someone Dies, the Sky Whispers Never Fall in Love

Because loss is the back of the photographwe never look at, I write your deathbedscenario on the palm of my handwhile your husband prays and your motherbrings dessert to the funeral. So sensitive,I hear you say at the edge of heaven, the endof history, so strange how we're herefor only an eyeflash. You stumblewith your new angel wings, and laugh—all that suffering! as you dust off your glimmerand I walk down a flagstone path tryingto tidy the flowers others left for you,as if blossoms are enough to holdwhat isn't there anymore, It's a gestureof unneeded sympathy a deathdatetoo late, you say. And I love that your ghoststill complains about the living and stillwrites me love letters in the scent of jasmineblooming near the window—If you're tryingto outrun pain, that's a race you won't win, I hearthe rain tell the sidewalk, in the thunderthat almost knocks down the front door.

Every Morning, I Hear Sorrow Nibbling the Daylilies

Like the deer who kept returningto our office because for monthsthe receptionist left salt licksin the underbrush. How would it knowthe receptionist died sleddingwith her children in a late spring snow? Sometimes painbecomes the deer—it keeps showing upthough I have nothing to give it,so I watch it from my office windowuntil it turns, tilts its head at me,and slowly walks away. [End Page 22]

当某人死亡时，天空低语永远不会坠入爱河

因为损失是我们从未看过的照片的背面，所以当您的丈夫祈祷而母亲将甜点带到葬礼上时，我将您临终的情景写在我的手掌上。如此敏感，我听到你在天堂，最终的边缘说历史，这么奇怪我们怎么在这里只有一个eyeflash。您绊倒了新的天使的翅膀，笑了起来-所有的痛苦！当你拂去微光，我走下一条石板小路，试图整理别人留给你的花朵，仿佛盛开的花朵足以容纳不再存在的花朵，这是死者不必要的同情之举。你说太晚了。我爱您的鬼魂仍然抱怨生活，仍然在窗边绽放的茉莉花香中给我写情书–如果您想摆脱痛苦，那是一场您不会获胜的比赛，我听到雨声告诉人行道，在雷声中几乎撞倒了前门。[完第21页]

每天早晨，我听到悲伤吞噬着黄花菜

就像不断返回我们办公室的那只鹿一样，因为接待员几个月来一直在盐丛中留下盐舔。怎么知道接待员在春末的雪中与孩子一起滑雪橇而死？有时候，痛苦变成了鹿-尽管我什么也没有给它，但它会不断出现，所以我从办公室的窗户看着它，直到它转弯，将头向我倾斜，然后慢慢走开。[结束第22页]
