my heart breaks this weekend
let us sing a litany for Peter Orlovsky who is now home with Allen.
let us sing a litany for Leslie who writes poetry in another place
we shall remember those who go before us and
strive to be what they were to those behind us.
life ends
life ends abruptly.
the shadow ceases.
loss is registered but
life goes on,
indelicately as it
must.
- Hoc Scripsi
chicago poetry. poetry for a people. poetry for a moment. poetry to satiate the need. poetry of an american outlaw. poetry for the best words in their best order. poetry by Jhon Baker
