      < 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
