People like to believe they have influence over disasters, catastrophes, losses—by which they mean control—but that’s illusion, and she was done with illusion. Could she write that in her report? You’re all suffering under an illusion. Instead, she picked up the phone and texted: Island//illusion. Illusion//island. They sound the same when you say them enough.

Last night I was certain
pppyou were there with a gift
light balanced against shadow

we’re asked to send money
cities burn
where are the plans
there were no bells, no sirens, no warningpppthe cities burned

plan doubled into something else)
had across our common grass.
