The Worcester folks who hear all my stuff may recall a poem (from Mano Poderosa)called “Eileen is Burning,” about a long suffering, artistically stifled suburban woman who at last figures out a way toward a bit of freedom.
Think of this as a prequel, or perhaps I’m turning her into a multipart poem.
The realization
that she could not live
without generous portions of
well-placed silence
came to her on vacation
at Lake Mead when,
while she stared at the
shoulders of a rock hill
and wondered at how they
rose from the sunset water
like a debutante’s shoulders from
a lilac dress, only more
naturally and with no
agenda,
her husband started in again
on the day’s fishing.
She closed her eyes
and nodded, thinking
of nothing.

Huh.
Maybe an epilogue, then…I like redemption, too.

I’m fond of her too.
This is a prequel. I think “Burning” closes the saga.
