i think; backwards
finding that old house of leaves
some strong breeze is still there
stirring up my Self;
sounds here today remind me of travels with Mom, looking for colleges
finding in small places that impeccable dream of reinvention
;;
the bees at Bard, the castly Vasser,
and then the rest - driving through NewYork
sunlight bending its yellow knees
to touch the late summer afternoons
sandwiches wrapped in paper in small town delis
books in the car; thoughts streaming outside
a happiness
which is specifically American but
not Generally America
it's an irony i have to withstand
for the sake of keeping
that most profound lucky golden feeling of Home intact
