• resonance

  

   
  did you think that when they magnetize
  my molecules, i would forget you? it's not
  going to happen, not even when the
  incomplete moon kneads me into
  shadows on the MRI
  and fog rises from the interior of my brain.

  magnetic resonance turns bodies into maps
  that retrieve lost loved ones. did you know that?
  rivers, mountains, time zones are no obstacle...

  inside my head when the magnets clank
  a moth will flutter its striped wings.
  i'll listen to your voice through memory's keyhole,
  everything under control like canned sardines.

  besides.no matter how my eyes may see things,
  their outcome does not depend on my emotions.
  no reason to blame the weather
  for whatever is in my head...

  this is life--forever on the point of no return,
  forever in a process of losing our treasures.
  yet in our magnetic resonance,
  you and i are images

  caught in the light
