Pastoral

Together,

you

standing

before me before

the picture

window, my arms

around you, our

eyes pitched

beyond our

reflections into —

(“into” I’d

written, as

though there

swung at the end

of a tunnel,

a passage dotted

with endless

points of

arrival, as

though our gaze

started just outside

our faces and

corkscrewed its way

toward the horizon,

processural,

as if looking

took time to happen

and weren’t

instantaneous,

offered whole in

one gesture

before we

ask, before our

will, as if the far

Sonoma mountains

weren’t equally ready

to be beheld as

the dead

fly on the sill) —

the distance, a

broad hill of

bright mustard flowers

the morning light

coaxes open.
