repeat after me

cai guo-qiang; sky ladder, 2015

a prompt     significance of scale
all days pull forward, if you are lucky
connecting fascination to scarcity

generic worries     an organic undoing
we burn fuel to buy: eggs, cheese, & bread
overwhelmed, we fear waste

what does it mean to be loved more when you are gone
absent    swallowing
light years from your guilt, shame replicating comfort

a feeling       like deserve
repeat after me: there is so much to hope for
& even more to remember to want

All the suspense of being on your knees, heaven spread.
