72.
To one’s own roof
Mars vacating
to a house of walls
interior
to collect, a calm
perhaps unfounded
to collect
to plan
—All right, if you promise not to cry, though
73.
To near the finish
ostrich
the first snows of absence
to ratify beautiful
to discard
says nothing else
purse-lipped
a xerox of her passport photo
all reasonable requests
74.
When her speech had been set free she began to sing
valescence
a calming
rocks and the shore
terrain
orange and green
a prayer shawl
wal-low
wander
