What To Believe


by Jill Chan


We are relieved.

We are laughing once again.


My body seems to go about its business

of finding it where we want it.


Here, out of the way

of complicated thinking.


Being simple like this,

knowing a thing is done by doing.


We leave what we reached after

before we could be


left alone with our wanting,

now still only ours, will be ours


until we have

lived and lived


in our loneliness

nothing could die


but some dark

we never caught.
