How We Handle Hell






When feelings morph toward the abstract – enact a story into which
they might be put to simplify the mess of them, to take their vagaries
and put some flesh on them, transform “implied” into “exact” –

when what we call a poem or a painting or whatever other act
of making palpable what can’t be captured comes to be –
inconstancy can seem, for moments, constancy –

and all is well. This is how we handle hell.
