The Couple

“Twice in the past two weeks I think I met

Lizzie in the recurrent dream.

We were out walking. What sort of street, you ask,

fair or London? It was our own street.

What did you hear and say? We heard ourselves.

The sidewalk was two feet wide. We, arm in arm,

walked, squelching the five-point oakleaves under heel—

happily, they melted under heel.

Our manner had some intimacy in my dream.

What were you doing on this honeymoon?

Our conversation had a simple plot,

a story of a woman and a man

versifying her tragedy—

we were talking like sisters … you did not exist.”
