To His Journal
Find a tender archivist.
Bury yourself in the driest air,
the kindest light; steer clear
of auctions and jealous wives.
Fall open on flattering days.
Flaunt his finest lines;
offer context for his faults.
Recall his music.
Brace yourself for change.
Accommodate workshops; he'll settle
somewhere comfortable. Begrudge
him entries in transit.
Remember and forgive me
when we meet as strangers.
