Dina and Dan, Remember Us to Them

The time it takes rain to leave place
move to another vessel, fill another boat
on its side, people scratching up
perpendicular vertical hallways
filled with water

O holy ghost, holy body, haunt as in o holy

weight holy weight outline like a killing,
outline like a death                       Dear holy ghost, dear murder

The time it takes this sweet spirit
to infest as insects, infest as four headed cherubim,
on which you begin, again

            O holy ghost, holy body, haunt haunt

The time it takes for you to believe
you lived this long, you lived this long
you are surprised you lived this long
I am glad you lived this long, outline       Dear ghost, in your outline

I forgot what color your eyes are
When did you get as tall as me
I remember now the dark, you are so dark
