- W2146571841 abstract "From Invisible Strings 1 Two teenagers, boy and girl, go down to the river with fishing poles: beneath calm waters the true world swims furiously towards them, so hoping to be caught. 2 Spring light on new leaves, shining like water. Somewhere right now, in this very moment, someone is dying to all this. 3 Tired, tired, almost sixty, I step outside for a moment and rest in the wind. [End Page 101] 4 Azaleas in bloom: a woman catches me staring at her staring at them. She smiles at me anyway, the thief caught red-handed. 5 7AM and the lover leaves his lover's house barefoot to go back to his basement room across the alley. I nod hello and continue to pick the lilies of the valley which just yesterday began to bloom. 6 I vow to write seven poems a day, look down and see a crow rising into the thick rain on 5th Avenue as if pulled up by invisible strings, and already there are only six to go . . . [End Page 102] 7 Vuillard's Interior/Woman Sewing: is it for this glimpse of a calm world that I paid my twelve dollars and entered the museum: her head bent to her task, the shape of her task unknowable? 8 At age 70, Corot painted a pond shining in gray light, and a girl kneeling before it, her face half turned towards the old man painting. A gray birch rises beside her, slightly bent, blackened just a bit around the edges. 9 You're bound to wake up soon; I'm just telling you now, it's a gray day with fallen cherry blossoms, a lazy rooster and two mourning doves so far away it's very hard to hear them unless you take first one quiet breath, then another. [End Page 103] 10 Sleeping in the attic while it rains I hear the sound of the wood drinking its fill. 11 Our friend leaves a small vase of flowers in our room which the cat, excited that we are here, knocks over: everything that happens helps us feel at home. 12 Viola, absence courted by strings in the night's first blue hour: play me that song. 13 Nearing sixty, I sit in the bathrobe that was once my father's. Bony ankles feel the breeze, and the ringing in my ears: this is who I am. [End Page 104] 14 Walking in late spring I keep remembering how much my mother loved walking in late spring. 15 I love so badly it amazes me she puts the peony in my room. 16 In late spring the woman I love whistles back at the cardinal. 17 Poems about fireflies should only be written in summer, but now, in late spring, I remember them at midnight, beneath the old fortress in Spoleto where prisoners were kept their whole lives. [End Page 105] 18 The stage door opens onto coolness, while the actors stand outside between scenes, smoking. Their faces like plums newly ripened on a tree, are bruised with makeup, the true sweetness shining through. 19 These pine trees are my eternity. Sitting inside their shadows what is death to me? 20 American summer: mist rising off damp earth, two dozen eggs at the Farmer's market, one more twenty year old dead in Iraq. 21 Yesterday at the ocean, riding the waves, no one knew me as anything [End Page 106] but a sixty year old man out of his mind with happiness. 22 At the coffee stand in front of the cemetery the young woman dispenses the sweet with the bitter. And people line up patiently to pay her for it. 23 Rain draws closer across the lagoon and even here in Venice nothing can be done for it, the empty boat filling with water. 24 You can call it Alchemy, Pollock, but it's still darkness calling out to darkness, until whatever could explode does. [End Page 107] 25 Inside the church in Venice..." @default.
