Who Are We in Heaven
if we are perfect, our past a meadow
burning in our wake? Who are you,
mother, if not disappointed by me?
Who am I without my self-righteous
superiority? After the fire
a different forest rises. Imagine,
after so much history, to meet,
unarmored. Could we bear to know
how much we loved each other?
