Ancient Music

She has a different sense of time

And lies somewhere on the other side Of the grave and the Atlantic, her parents Buried in Somerset and she in Massachusetts, And I, here, looking over a green lake In the Rockies, think of Sarah Norton, Centuries after.

ADOBE CASLON PRO REGULAR 6 PT

There are doorways to the yard

I may never enter: roses are like echoes. My dreams move over the dead leaves And hers skirt in the dark, whisper Over the pond in a day too long For the two of us.

ADOBE CASLON PRO ITALIC 7 PT

Like music

So are we. He hangs on the tree For us both. The scars will bleed For ever. The stars are not Interested in algebra: freedom Cannot be found in emblem books. Our bodies break in the dust We choke on, strangers of the same Flesh.

Stillness is our family ground, Like any other. Stone and soil Will eat our bones even in the movement Of desire we call voice and blood, Quickness of tongue and eye. I Will not bury you again With doctrine: the red, white, yellow Flowers blow their scent over the cape In the heat of summer. You felt that too, but never in the same summer. I would trade paradox to sit by you

To hear all those things that will erupt Unspoken and invisible in me and mine Without sufficient history, unconscious As the loss we suffer, the mute sound Of our blood inventing the past With blind abandon. How did your head Tilt in the wind and were you taught so well That we speak the lesson we oppose In time?

Perhaps it’s time to read philosophy

By a dim light, to mistake a hollow rote For stillness, to take faith for a beech tree And leave the sand on either coast For an urn. Our souls are blown out On a cold wind. Perhaps this empire is At an end even as we dissent from it Over time.
