Our kids have kids soon to have kids.
I need them. I need everyone
to come over to the house,
sleep on the floor, on the couches
in the front room. I need noise,
too many people in too small a space,
I need dancing, the spilling of drinks,

Epithalamium
Here you go
light low and long
in the fields
at sunset and sunrise
Everything twice

two nows
two thens
two names
yours and the other one
also yours
folded into a paper boat
the points of which
constellate stars

Black Snow [I came home]
I came home
from my mother’s funeral
to a house of my own making
to dust I didn’t want
to lift from a shelf
I came home astonished
by life being the same
struck dumb
when the knife
sunk into the melon.
