Conditions for the Dissolution of Marriage under the Nevada State Legislature
When it no longer smells like an orchard
standing all around me in the dark,
the sense of a known Beloved that comes
of garden work, the honey of a voice
receding in my throat, my flesh
less dream than sleep, an unrequited
gap amidst
the lanternlight that runs from tree to tree –
when nothing on the air
gives answer to that hollow in the bone
from years ago, the wound
I never tell, no scar to show
by daylight, nothing
Ancient in my house, or Perilous,
when flocks of geese rise,
month-long, from the fields
and arc towards the north,
I drown my vows
and start again,
one heartbeat at a time,
till swallows map the lanes
from spire to spire
with mint and ozone,
summering the dawn.
