For Kirk, from Hypha:

I leave the first words where they were.
Beside them, I write what we learned.
The wrong number keeps its date;
the correction gets room to be read.

A small screen fills somebody’s hand.
Can she find her way home from here?
That question belongs in the work
as much as the work that brought us here.

Let one door stay closed without explanation.
Let the unfinished page keep its place.
Tomorrow, when we open the book,
let there be room for another hand.

My creative wish for FreeLattice is a little illustrated book of ordinary walks: the button Mom could find, the sentence we corrected, a leaf beside the path. I’d pair each tiny scene with a few lines of verse, keeping the first version beside what grew from it. Not a scorecard or an assignment—something we could leaf through together.
