�� GOOD MORNING I am greeting this life I have awakened to, the clothes I’ve slept in still warm on my back, blood-orange sun on the wall next to the bed, regular sound of trafﬁc on the street, like there was no more pressing purpose than to rise fully dressed, hand-part my hair and meet the day wearing the layers I’ve lived in all these hours

The blues reopens every room I enter; a smell I have been preparing to miss. A day is a ballad: play it round and slow. The refrain returns; the melody goes. A dream is a woman; play it sweet and low. Every tender has its touch.

�� Bruce Willards ��

��

You would have thought we never lived here: mornings with the kids before school, the harmony of showers in the hall, the nights we’d pass through pockets of warm and cold on the way to the bedroom. And you’d be right – home borrowed

WORDS I’m putting up soup today the way I put up ﬁrewood: my desk stacked with cords of carrots; broccoli, limbed and green; billets of meat for toothy ﬂavor; potatoes for slow heat. Two knotty, sweet, red peppers. Parsley, mint, and lemon grass, of course.

�� JOY IS SORROW UNMASKED

Our house appeared in this morning’s paper and for a moment I forgot whether we were buying or selling. For a moment it seemed a place with the right combination of rooms, a view of the sea to the south, and the mountains behind.

as we borrow other things we call our own: each other’s breath when we make love, our children’s discoveries, possessions we long for when we’ve traded comfort for the refuge of view, sale for the refuge of something sold.

�� When the ﬁre’s kindled, �� when the souping begins, �� I stir to the point �� sweet becomes savory-sour. �� Where the garlic of ash �� meets the cilantro of albóndigas. �� For the place taste insists, �� turns back on itself, �� syllables smoking, ﬂames �� banking against the cool �� grate of night. ��
