(be)(holding)

after a  night  spent  begging
openness stays in my hands
alive and scrabbling  

the  half-seen things that stay 
behind my head like lunacy 
sappily live, laugh, love
  
 somewhere lives  resuming
in rubble--radio back, grow
high-pitched as news

I am empty-handed as those
not alive, I  re-collect them
in the lateness of my love
