My husband's birthday is tomorrow.
I had a husband. He used to sing to me. I don't understand time. I don't understand time or love. But tomorrow I hope the sun shines in Atlanta or wherever he may be.

Wrap you in Matthew's rose-gold light

my arms just for a night.

I am happy to report ...

... that I'm happy. But don't tell anyone. It's a secret.

Today I saw your faces everywhere I looked.
Tomorrow I will only ache to see them.

I saw a homeless man a few nights ago

palms upturned, arms outstretched under a beam

of fluorescent light behind a convenient store in Venice.

He spoke softly to himself as we drove by.

It was the light of God, of knowledge,

and he was Jesus, Muhammad or Moses.
