311

HOW TO GET STARTED, HOW TO KEEP GOING, HOW TO STOP

Without intention and chance
Making a mark of you
Or a marquee

There is an experience
And this is one too

You look like you've been through
A war in that coat -- in fact I have

Getting as much from outside
As you can without becoming
A dogmatist of "real life"

Belief maps out sideways
Just like art

Cold air, the morning, impending
Beginning

The sense of an ending

A picture of the shape
And a feeling of the form
Stare into the diction
Until it cracks and sighs

Royal blue I've been missing you

Testimony:
Every break-up and happy marriage
There in the first hello
Do I believe that

What does belief do
