"i don't think this next poem needs any introduction-- it's best to let the words speak for themselves"- Billy Collins, in his poem, "The Introduction."

for elanor and lola 

we don't see like we used to see
eye to chest as i'd watch you
breathe the air...
as we breathed the air
like we had no troubles

***

i miss you.

for jessie 

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
