Being Together With the World

Being together with the world
the Baltic Street is shining
so lights on across the courtyard
or cars being together with them
on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway
then a shoe box with notes in it
then self and the star on my hand
and pressing my face against the table
I felt enraptured nothing has been
covered over compassion is okay
everyday I grasp that light crevice
a little more gracefully and joyfully
the city lifted a bit for the silence
I find here is remarkable
dawn is capricious making it easy
to sit alone this medal is rock.
