FOR WANDA ON HER BIRTHDAY

Having followed you
to the edge of your
footsteps and stopped,
I understand where

longing belongs and
gladly deposit it there
for safe-keeping.
I hope you have grown

young enough by now
to recognize ecstasy
again and to appreciate
(as we all should)

how busy history is
escaping from our books.
