(After a Provincetown Workshop - Oct.2005)
If it is possible
for a man to gratefully
give up his ghost.
Returning at will
from a safe distance
beyond humanity's touch.
Reaching through
to graze our foreheads
with one finger.
Leaving an imprint
that must be washed away
by wordless worlds.
This is Franz Wright.
