Introduction

            ~ HERE ~

            We hoped I would begin
            somewhere,
            and if not at the birth
            of the world,
            perhaps at the birth
            of love…
            
            
            those 
            ghosts
            I could not 
            put
            to rest…
            
            
            in remembering
            ghosts,
            finding
            myself…
            
            
            in myself,
            looking for 
            the universe…
            
            
            finding only
            today,
            and the somewhere
            right here…
