the snow will come. I picture quiet

I feel the snap of a routine that lasted
days before we left. we walked
against the thin shade of white trees.
we sat in stuffed chairs belonging to a couple
who did not value order,
maybe thought it incompatible with happiness.
we found our pleasure there with tea.
found it in shared solitude. we worked a little
and discussed what we had done. and overnight
something was different in a life
I am an adult who has been young a long time.
I learn to have absorbed this, and I carry
what I have, occasionally putting it down.

has the resurrection bleeped out in the telling?
whose anaesthetic avenue is this?
is the thirtieth birthday destined to retain the status of rehearsal?
if you were altitude what would you name yourself?
when telescopic inference makes good, do you inform your would-be peers?
whose track record is injurious?
does winter mean the fairy tale means blasphemy?
which among the notches negates work in principle?
if a birdcage door is open should the object be renamed?
why not wear satin in the trenches?
is well-to-do some kind of a prerequisite to recognizance?
will I see you at critical mass?

The Remote
The remote became a noun in winter.
The remote might have been flexible.
The remote is gender neutral.
The remote takes us to France.
The remote when we are not looking elaborates on maps.
The remote prepares one for excitable moment.
The remote brings on momentum.
The remote equals the next breath.
The remote becomes what happens distinct from that next breath.
The remote used to make possible.
The remote is why one comes home.
The remote pierces someone's insistently small aesthetic.
The remote is not enough.
The remote has never seemed encompassing.
The remote is arbiter of other minds.
The remote is all tied up with silk impressions.
