Alas, Marc has been gone for almost 2 years. He passed suddenly, unexpectedly. Not a week has gone by where I don’t think of him.

Voices tell me not to waste time in imitation. Another, distant and blissful says:
“Tell it slant.”

We would hold up the book and show them Johnson’s The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson. And then read them a short verse and fall into peals of laughter.

How did she do it? So seemingly simple, so effortlessly falling into form. And yet transcendent, profound, and eternal.
It was pure joy.

In an empty classroom, lit only by the sunlight of midafternoon autumn, Marc Goldleaf and I are reading aloud, alternating poems, handing the book back and forth. People passing in the hallway can hear us belly laughing and giggling. They peek in to see what’s so funny.

It’s late October of 9th grade.
It’s 9th period which was optional study hall for students at our school in little city on the Hudson River.

One voice in my head is shouting “Stop writing like this! There is only one Emily and she is a singular genius. Don’t bother to imitate!”

Another is whispering “Keep going, get lost in these woods beyond the cul de sac.”

the bitter taste of English breakfast tea
from a paper cup
while driving in the rain
on a bridge over

the brightness of mars
in the eastern winter sky
- the moon’s pale body
among the naked maples
whitetail deer shed their antlers

It’s so weird. I made an account to experience poetry.

When I look at my feed all I see is poetry.

No right wing propagandists, no lying fascist politicians, just poetry.

Just like twitter once was.
