Lincoln is a shore I can never reach
tall among contradictions
with the speech of angels.
who is with Whitman
cannot look at lilacs again
ever the same way.
and so I contribute
my sprig too
having visited your monument
on a summer day
I dont remember anything else
except that it seemed
you could rise again from the marble
to say exactly what you said before
and be shot the same way.
