Confessional

John Rooney: [T]here is only one guarantee: none of us will see heaven.

-Road to Perdition

I wake up to light -
the sudden,
almost-spring
kind -
my face crushed
between your breasts
and I think how
anything less
would not be enough.
The wind
has come up -
has it ever
stopped? -
the alarm clock
is turned
to the wall.
No tangible past,
no future at all,
I listen as the wind
makes the neighbor's
flagpole
clank-clank-clank
like sailboats at a
marina in
one of my memories
of water.
