Levinas asked if we have the right
To be the way I ask my sons
If they’d like to be trees
The way the word tree
Makes them a little animal
Dancing up and down
Like bears in movies
Bears I have to say
Pretend we are children
At a river one of them says
So we sip it pivot in the hallway
Call it a canoe
It is noon in the living room
We are rowing through a blue
That is a feeling mostly
The way drifting greenly
Under real trees
Is a feeling near holy

After Mahmoud Darwish
And they searched her voice, heard the lurch of a bus into the deep muck of a field. And they searched the bus, saw the guts of its vinyl seats. And they searched the guts, smelled the steel springs rusting. And they searched the rust, tasted nothing but the tips of their thumbs. And touching their thumbs to their lips they said well in another three years.
