BROUGHT TO GRIEF
                        BY LOVE

I am brought to grief
     brought to grief
          I am touched by caring
               warmed by kindness

                    disarmed

Yes I am brought to grief by love

 

A man is dying of Aids
He can no longer hide
     that he is gay
           from the small straight
                      tight-knit tight-lipped
                           community
           where he has taught math
                      for twenty-three years
He expects censure
He receives

                    an outpouring of caring

And I am
brought to grief
     brought to grief
          I am touched by the caring
               warmed by the kindness

                    disarmed

Yes I am brought to grief by love

 

A woman is raped
     in an old pick-up truck
A man is dying
     shot in the guts

I am a rock

But I am brought to grief
     brought to grief
          I am touched by caring
               warmed by kindness

                    disarmed

Yes I am brought to grief by love

A child is outside
     not the same
          out of luck
     not Jewish
          not Christian
     not French
          not Wasp

I am a rock

The child is included
     by a child
     by the teacher
     in a game
     on the street

I am disarmed by the caring

Instead of disapproval,
               love
Instead of exclusion,
               love

Yes, I am brought to grief
     brought to grief
          I am touched by caring
               warmed by kindness

                    disarmed

Yes I am brought to grief by love

A dozen years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
