1.
Ill-tempered blue sky and one undressed window dissolve
into mathematics: two glassed shadows, two chairs,
 
a table and anxiety. Explain what’s missing: your face,
the grace of your moving, in and against time,
 
quieting away. The future humming, I will hate you.
 
 
2.
One person equals an obsession: two, a passion . . .
(from the Latin passionem (nom. passio)
 
"suffering, enduring") Two years of left over stars 
later, generations of long dead trick-light, 
 
still traveling, equally real, unreal, hope colored
