Snowfall in March: br I sit in the white glow reading a thesis br About you. Your poems, your life. br br The author's my student, br He even quotes me. br br Forty years since we joked in a kitchen in Portland br Twenty since you disappeared. br br All those years and their moments— br Crackling bacon, slamming car doors, br Poems tried out on friends, br Will be one more archive, br One more shaky text. br br But life continues in the kitchen br Where we still laugh and cook, br Watching snow. br br br Anonymous submission.
