there is a photograph of the sunset
that shimmers in your hand as you hold
it against the sunlight

I am here with friends now
and they wish me nothing more
than all happiness

we listen to songs we used to love
when we were younger we listen
to our voices hold our former selves

the sunset is unlittered by birds
or any obstruction its perfect firmament
over the darkling water over

my heart as I see it spin within
your eyes and the statue of your body
white and white as sun on sand

everything is quiet now
in the near future there will still be quiet
in the far future what can be known
