I was reading C.K. Williams’s book On Whitman
September 2010
And I scribbled on page 97 these three..
A Name
An Avowal
A Maxim–
Kelly McBride
“You Are My Hero”
Seven times down, eight times up
The “Hero” reference
I’d first scribbled in her copy
Of a book I wrote
This
Leads
To That
On
And
On
Forever
Bodhi
Svaha!
