Gabby, your figure is
pregnant
Now let me nurse you
To natural birth
Arise                                                                             
in the seat of our beings
            A
rise
                                                                                                            From
the zone
Today, the wound resigned
It needs time 
To recover, she said
She will be back, she said
To serve again
I.
The speaker     fighting his self
Cries
The party
They     they all cry
They are all moved
We        after following the reports
So long as we all
follow           have followed the reports
are also moved 
As the friend of the
holder
Of the wound
Notes the reader          speaking          nodding
Reading the note        how
As another       
She
cannot make its letters
Sound              fully
Still
Claps   not what she deserved
Not even her
Still     claps    yet
What of the advantage?
Still      so long remaining
Still
Retirement
Or suspension—is one
Not the other
Anymore
Now
What of the advantage
Today             afterwards?
What of the state
Of the wound’s
permanence?
II.
Who cares
For it
No one wonders
It is
Cared for
All is based on 
That    they
We suppose
III. (Zone B)
And for those caring
of
For the caring
Care, advantage
In the works
Of the wound
Unlike its maker
Her husband knows
Intimately in 
His decision
To bend
To her
Slurs
Graciously
Famously
We claim him
In stars we shroud him
His blood is more than
Holy, proven so not
only 
Now, but before
Too
To us
We claim him
He is ours as we claim
Her for ourselves
So she is ours
As she claimed us
For her self
For her advantage
For her wound
Claimed her
For us
For everyone
For us all as well 
As well as us
As did we
We did today
Doubting a return
Like today’s 
After the claiming
By all
Stood her
It thinking        limiting her
For her             he thinks         crying
Sincerely at that
A moment       them all
Speaking to
But also for     the household
Arizona
Ohio
Think of everything
The state of
The union here today 
The lack
Forming it
Lending itself
Its damage to confront
The affront done 
To us all by it 
All

M, sounds good. I'm shooting P an email
now. 
Nice to hear about A stopping by. I was,
to be honest, very excited to tell him the tentatively good news 
when I saw him at the cafe yesterday.
 
Talked to J. He had no particular
knowledge regarding S's accommodations, but doubted that the foundation would
provide a work visa by merit of my potential grant. S is more comfortable
playing it loose than I am, though, so if I do receive the F, well be going and
working her public life out on the cuff. A’s immigration website is friendlier
than I expected. Here's hoping a college degree and staff experience at a
library qualify a "skilled worker."
Thanks again,
C
Gabby, 
Are you able to ask
for help
When you want it
Or do you have to
motion,
            Trusting an understanding?
How was the reading of
you letter arranged 
And how written?
I ask because it seems
so
Important to the
consensus built. 
Surely you recognize
Its rarity. 
You broke an era
By merit of your being
broken
Brought the aisles to
their feet
For
nothing
A contribution
To the war on drugs
From Mexican
Cartels                         not ours
From Mexico 
That’s             all
The bald men
Led to. 
The one that loves you
The other that
Adorned you
With your perfect lack
Of skills          making
Room for         grace and
Leaving the star          
Of your seat
Nothing to talk about
            they both 
Led to
Nothing 
While your seat 
Remains something
To us all
When it is still             important
To me                          at least
And I know your record
I knows its good
But not great and that
The next will be worse
Almost assuredly 
The next will be
Worse
Than you        and you 
Didn’t even
Go out 
Well
Enough
For today
V. Zone I 
Home
In her body
She feels it
Eating
She      feels it
It is      nothing
Eating something
Making it        out of nothing
As she is used to
Tho nothing
Is past
It is       in her
It is      eating her
As she and we 
Are eating it    in her   
Wanting her    to
Reenter           it          
For us              but
With it
