Consolation
by Daniel BerriganOriginal Language English
Listen
if now and then
you hear the dead
muttering like ashes
creaking like empty
rockers on porches
filling you in filling you in
like winds in empty
branches like a star
in wintry trees
so far
so good
you've mastered finally
one foreign tongue
