Behind the Camera:

Poem by Dennis Patrick Slattery Toward the end When you feel as if Part of your death Was accomplished While you slept (the date fuzzy, the partial amputation still raw)

Or tell it all out of sequence A story line that only you can follow Because now it’s only your life Moving backward until it ﬁnds The right words demanding their own order And all the right to jargon, To bolster its tensile strength....

Is when you question, Who you will tell your story to, Who will listen with care

So let’s begin, and maybe repeat Some shadowed detail... Who can tell when forgiveness

As you gallop in the telling Releasing those parts of The Plot You hid from one another—

Awakened with a grudge, Will have a chance to seep Into the sentences

They too, not knowing Their sisters from their brothers (so broken was the family design inside you)...

Casually and without Drawing attention to itself, Who knows

“Mixed” some would call it As they sought their right place In time... Each minute The memes wanted to line up A sequence of sorts Horses in harness ﬁrst Then the front of the wagon Then your feet, a whip and the driver

��

Behind him, the heads of the passengers Sweating above the rear wheels Pushing the whole damn thing forward...

And who can tell Dennis Patrick Slattery, Ph.D., is core faculty, Mythological Studies Program, Paciﬁca Graduate Institute. He is the author, co-author, editor, or co-editor of 27 volumes, including 7 volumes of poetry and one co-authored novel. He has also published over 200 articles in magazines, newspapers, journals, and on-line journals. Two of his poems were nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

AMERICAN LIFE IN POETRY Column 716

By Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate

�

��

Shank for Cora Though she lives in a world of Velcro, snaps and zippers, I’m showing my granddaughter how to sew on a button. She’s nine, same age I was watching my mother pick my favorite one, shaped like a flower a child might draw, color of sunshine. Her homemaker hands held everything together, needle and red thread lickety-splitting up, over, down, up again attaching the blossom to grassgreen cloth: Colors no bee could pass by. Now, before the last tug of thread through the button my granddaughter brought me, I point out the pinch of space––width of a scissor-blade––between it and the fabric, a shaft of stitches with a half-dozen twists of thread around it before tying off. Shank, I tell her, same as Mother named it. It strengthens the bond between button and garment, less friction than ready-mades, fasteners that loosen too soon. Like love, my mother said. Close, but not too close. A snip of thread and my granddaughter’s ready to go, fluorescent-pink button back on the nose of her dog-faced school bag, the shank fixing us together in this world my mother could trust only so long as everything was done right, only Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet when she didn’t forget to check I was buttoned up Laureate, 2004-2006 proper, buttoned up tight.
