Sleepless and Bleeding

John Sweet

Not the power of memory,
because it’s the future that matters.
Write this down if you have to.
Stand in your back yard on the
third day of the flood and feel
the water wash over your feet. There
is no bravery in despair. There is no
forgiveness in the next 100 years. Warmth,
yes, and simple pleasures, and also the
ocean on fire. Also the deaths of
everyone you love. Remember this
like you would a prayer.
