Where were we—

A girl in a red skirt, high heels,

going up the stairs before me in a made-over barn.

White-wash peeling, we lived together in the loft,

on cool bare boards.

—lemme tell you something kid—

back in 1910.

Walking a dusty road through plowed-up fields

at forest-fire time—the fir tree hills dry,

smoke of the far fires blurred the air—

& passed on into woods, along a pond,

beneath a big red cedar,

to a bank of blinding blue wild flowers

and thick green grass on levelled ground

of hillside where your old house used to stand.

I saw the footings damp and tangled,

and thought my father was in jail,

and wondered why my mother never died,

and thought I ought to bring my sister back.
