my friend e-mails to tell me her doctor did an MRI
and found a lump behind her spine
and they will go in next Tuesday and operate.
in the woods along Route 571 traveling West
there are too many trees and not enough water
or sunlight to sustain all the green growing there,
many trees are bare and in the process of dying
natural deaths. as i read earlier a shiver moved
over my usually unwavering friend's e-mail like
tremulous water, so I got into my car and drove
to the ocean and listened to waves lap the beach
and watched the water advance and recede, recede and advance.
nothing changes and nothing stays the same.
the ocean is nothing. i am nothing. death is nothing.
but if i get perfectly still will my friend be ok?
