In the Days that Followed

About this book

Following the news of a long-past lover's death, In The Days That Followed grapples with the sudden knowledge of the existence of a stillborn child conceived out of wedlock and never named, and never spoken of after the relationship had ended. How do you miss someone who you never even knew? It is within this distillation of loss, of distance, and grief, that allows us to form the unborn, the unnamed, the absent parts of ourselves into the language, into the landscape, and give them a fleeting figure. By giving them a voice and a shadow, a gesture of acknowledgment, we can give a sweet farewell from the earth, from our past, and from their future they were never granted.

  6. Shall I invoke?
  7. There are things I know
  8. Popcorn clouds brighter than the hour,
  9. What more belongs to us?
  10. Basil blooming rancid in the sun
  11. And what’s to be done with brightness?
  12. Some sense of morning arrival
  13. No deer, but tracks of them,
  14. What will be relinquished?
  15. And so, we turn from the window
  16. Ash will find you
  17. Owl pellets on the pitch of the roof.
  18. When a fist-sized god smacks the window
  19. From eternal sounds of dream I wake,
  20. What is the weight of gone?
  21. This being what March has meant—
  22. The nibs of weeds that scribble the weather,
  23. When I look back, the blackbird has risen
  24. Oh, the murmurations
  25. Rain last night, but no saints.
  26. The apple trees are cold today.
  27. The overcast dimming, the torrential hues
  28. Thin flies rising from the snow
  29. I witness the light’s gradations on the unclaimed field,
  30. After great patience, a small bird comes.
  31. I dream the light moves a blue land.
  32. Many are the vehicles
  33. Isn’t there always that face coming into view
  34. It is morning, and today it will snow.
  35. Then I came to the river, sat down.
  36. Sometimes I can pull being visible.
  37. Shall we speak in the voice of fire?
  38. Puffs of dry dirt where I sprail a dark line of spit
  39. As if we are part of the readying,
  40. As the moon dumps its pale ink
  41. Chlorophyll morning,
  42. At what point do we stop asking
  43. Line of geese drawing south,
  44. In a winter wood we hear it,
  45. All morning I’ve watched the vole
  46. You know what the price is now.
