THE NIGHT THAT HE IS FIVE TOMORROW A second time, it comes, that stubborn dream. He walks – not to me, not away – out through Long, dark green grass, half-tottering, half-lame, But happy in an ordinary thing His waking never did, can never do. And now I wake, into the normal sun Which sets the dry grass mountainside aﬂame Out through the window where the mule deer feed, Not weeping, not exulting, nearly dumb Before the snow falls, easily, like seed.

�� AFTER THE HOLIDAYS �� They are sorting and packing, picking up Loose ends, toys, ribbons, bits and pieces of the heart. I am father and grandfather, sitting by, Letting the sorrow of departure wash into my heart. Nonna is out doing errands, picking up more Bits for attention, devotion, pumped along by her heart, Then dismantle it, leaving the ﬂoor of the mind ﬂat While the veins return their used blood to the heart. Not sorrow, no: fondness. Fondness is all. We all remember what absence does to the heart.

��

MOVING IN: SATURDAY MORNING Young couple lugging your box spring up ten steep steps to a rental, too tired and sweaty to lie on it now, or to make the day sentimental, you are us newly married over half a century back, boxing, lifting, U-Hauling all we owned down the dotted track to the farthest edge of our newly discovered and little-known universe. With our mattress we carried many kind blessings and one blind, fatal curse. Of the pair, you two should repeat and repeat the former, ad lib, while the latter we pray you’ll be ignorant of – the empty, unportable crib. You’re young: soon enough you’ll recover from today’s heavy lifting and moving, and lie down on that bed for what beds are meant for – sleeping and loving.

�� BRINGING BACK THE LAKE in your water bottle, you should not fail to leave the mountain on the skin of your boots, for while you have been up drinking that thin oxygen, we at sea level breathing through our ears, have prayed for your hook and bait to strike. We say to each other, Fishing takes patience, but now you are down again we wish to see something lost inside your face, traced by the air of that place, the absence of this.
