...my own/Shattered aspect...
                       —Rob Halpern

shattered aspect.  that
is so geminian times
three.  we do want
justice, do we not?
we want it (w)hole.
in its entirety it
is just a thing;
but is it the
thing?  things
grow, evolve, 

and god-bless.

but.  then.  things
divide.  and con-
quer the godless.
how holy i must
be at this very
moment, lying
in bed listening
to the leaky toi-
let and for the
footsteps of yr
unmistakable
swagger.  one
day is one day.
all is well.  min-
utes later no-
thing adds
up.  this goes
on forever

unless
we relearn
how to lie.

to lie still.
