< cut like a movie >
as if a picture of my hand
taken in Texas in 1993
(on the causeway to Galveston)
could reach out
and open a door to the east coast
just wide enough
to shout through
shout anything
that might bring you back
"we're all pieces now"
(i want to tell you)
gray, white, black
i spend afternoons
cutting them
like a movie
and in the evening
i spread them out
our pages
our photographs and promises
thick black books of them
perfect and gone
