Détachment, Glori Vincelli,

Montreal, 2017

​

I am drawn to you

as dawn is to morning

as evening is to dusk.

 

I want to know everything:

tell me your history.

I will tell you mine.

 

Then again, maybe we should leave some spaces unfilled 

where some of what we did and said and felt 

remains a secret only to God.

 

We know that nothing

escapes her attention.

She is at once nowhere and everywhere.

 

Now, in the present and going forward,

she may have too much unbridled power, 

she may need to be subject to serious oversight.
