And now our heads bow for Leslie Scalapino, poet.
What a weekend, Gary Coleman, Dennis Hopper and now Leslie Scalapino – two actors and a poet.
I grieve
I grieve slowly,
quietly.
occupying the hours of
a day with meditations
of death and the dead.
often I consider my own death
and am not unnerved by it as
death is one end only.
it is ever the patient student
of the dead that practices life
so fully
as to die with ease.
– Hoc Scripsi
