Rumors of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

I

Wilderness and dwelling
both shrinking

like aloes
in San Jose del Cabo

infants in the pool
“Gracie—agua”


II

Did I really believe
in your intangible hold

noncommittal
and observing

you might (yet) be moved?


III

Rebecca in a sunken boat
gestures toward me

your shirt remains
neatly tucked

I consider and reconsider
the one and the zero

and suspend myself
from disbelief
