My mother read every poem Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote
And some she didn't but my mother thought she did
And a few my mother knew she hadn't
But would have if she'd thought of them
Just back from a trip Li Po
Empties his bag of stray lines
And thoughts for poems. Near the bottom
My father's curled shadow sleeps
On some bales of loose-woven moonlight.
