prodded by memory I stand
transfixed on an old stomping ground—
sixty years later my feet still
recognize this sidewalk’s odd tilt

held hostage by the wheezy squeaks
of a dawdling eastern phoebe

sit in a comfortable chair
asleep with my nose in the air

it’s morning and the wind blows
west upriver dimpling the water
just enough to become a prism
scattering sunlight through green leaves
