Ă propos de ce livre
These poems, written for occasions, remind us of those occasions that recur--celebrations, commemorations, rites of passage, and ordinary moments of being that linger in memory as turning points or extraordinary encounters or summonings. Tied as they are to particular times and places, readers will recognize in them echoes of their own beginnings, partings, and moments of awakening.

MOMENTS OF BEING
Appaâs Note
Itâs the deep one.
You pluck it,
and the sound
keeps coming.
The string goes still,
but the note stays
with you, and you
find yourself
listening for it
in the night. Owls
call and feral cats
cry into the dark.
By the bay shore
water laps and wind
plays among pines.
You yawn and sigh.
At bedtime you humâ
a bit of Bill Evans,
the last line of Sundayâs anthem,
a phrase from Verdi.
I listen in. I can hear
Appaâs note, the deep one.
I can follow it home.

In the Borderlands
Afternoons when you walked in
with that look of contentment I loved,
I asked where youâd been
and you said (as though it ought to be
obvious) âAt the cemetery.â
âSome guy was buried between two women.
They all had different names.
Same kind of gravestones, though.
Thereâs a story there.â
âI go there to think,â you said.
âI like being there with all those people.â
Mornings I would find you sitting up
while your sisters slept. Still seeing
a dreamscape, fast fading as dawn,
youâd recount the nightâs journey.
There were fish in your dreams.
And long tunnels and underwater caves.
And people who glittered and places
where everything had its own color.
You were an edge-dweller, peering,
fearless, past the partitions that keep us
safe, tantalized by places you can get to only
by going deep into underground caves.

What Martha Knew
Busy about many things, she knew how
to cope with othersâ agendas
and take the daysâ tradeoffs in stride.
She knew that, unlike her sister,
she was not likely to sit quietly
and listen before the work was done.
But she listened. She heard
his voice as she stirred
the pot, and paused, and wept.
She knew that if he had been there
her brother would not have died.
Even when he rebuked her, her heart
widened and her breath
slowed. So she was content
when he finally blessed the warm bread
and gave th...
