HISTORY NO LONGER

as sometimes happens

what is already there

what was now on display

even the most specific detail

and so allowed to retain

we feel her anxiety in her movement

she is telling it to us and this in itself is new

so here is difference

a way women have to harm themselves

feels unexpectedly light

history no longer one thing after another, but

available

to all of us all the time

in order to help us remember something

waxes and wanes

in a way she may never be

changes hands

the energy reversed

it becomes clear

holds the old idea up to the light

comes through here as something more amusing

it is noted

and yet there is still room

almost always
