Today's poem is by John Yau
After Rilke
I would describe myself
as a flinty expressionfound in remnant
pile of sacked skyan unrepeatable
self-designedtattoo
cardI want to upload
these imagesto the Internet
the hereafter of heavennever complete
already infinitePorous
poor usor pour
usI want
to stayin this
placea little different
than before
