Sharon Olds - Topography

After we flew across the country we br got in bed, laid our bodies br delicately together, like maps laid br face to face, East to West, my br San Francisco against your New York, your br Fire Island against my Sonoma, my br New Orleans deep in your Texas, your Idaho br bright on my Great Lakes, my Kansas br burning against your Kansas your Kansas br burning against my Kansas, your Eastern br Standard Time pressing into my br Pacific Time, my Mountain Time br beating against your Central Time, your br sun rising swiftly from the right my br sun rising swiftly from the left your br moon rising slowly form the left my br moon rising slowly form the right until br all four bodies of the sky br burn above us, sealing us together, br all our cities twin cities, br all our states united, one br nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
