Graham, Jorie 2001

One calls to it, one wastes one’s sympathy.
Comparison, too, is very slow.
Where is the past?
– Jorie Graham, “Evolution”

Here’s where I lower you
into the drizzle
of the visible,
my eager one,
where I hold you out like a gift
to this water, out at the end of my hand, to steady you,
– Jorie Graham, “Mirror Prayer”
