if resentment persists

To forgive one’s life love for dying, pick the long, feather-like, crimson flowers in 
early spring, when the desert is in bloom. Boil in river water only. Let cool. Drink at once. Drink when waking, at noon, and at bedtime each day for three full weeks thereafter. If resentment persists, go to your beloved’s grave daily and pray for forgiveness until sound sleep and appetite return.

My last days 
May they pass 
 
slow as black smoke 
goes father’s 
 
only prayer 
of late 
 
No 
No I’m certain 
 
that he stole it 
from Adam I’m sure 
 
who first 
uttered it 
 
just outside 
the Garden 
 
the first night he 
spent alone
