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.
