Joanne Kyger



I return to this book often. If it's not in your library, today's a good day to fix that.

These are (for me, anyway) clarifying poems.



NIGHT PALACE


'The best thing about the past

is that it's over'

when you die.

you wake up

from the dream

that's your life.


Then you grow up

and get to be post human

in a past that keeps happening

ahead of you
