THE DREAM 

This has nothing to do with war  
or the end of the world. She  
dreams there are gray starlings  
on the winter lawn and the buds  
of next year's oranges alongside  
this year's oranges, and the sun  
is still up, a watery circle  
of fire settling into the sky  
at dinner time, but there's no  
flame racing through the house  
or threatening the bed. When she  
wakens the phone is ringing  
in a distant room, but she  
doesn't go to answer it. No  
one is home with her, and the cars  
passing before the house hiss  
in the rain. "My children!" she  
almost says, but there are no  
longer children at home, there  
are no longer those who would  
turn to her, their faces running  
with tears, and ask her forgiveness. 

THE WAR 

The Michigan Central Terminal  
the day after victory. Her brother  
home from Europe after years  
of her mother's terror, and he still  
so young but now with the dark  
shadow of a beard, holding her  
tightly among all the others  
calling for their wives or girls.  
That night in the front room  
crowded with family and neighbors --  
he was first back on the block --  
he sat cross-legged on the floor  
still in his wool uniform, smoking  
and drinking as he spoke of passing  
high over the dark cities she'd  
only read about. He'd wanted to  
go back again and again. He'd wanted  
to do this for the country,  
for this -- a small house with upstairs  
bedrooms -- so he'd asked to go  
on raid after raid as though  
he hungered to kill or be killed. 

THE PRESIDENT 

Today on television men  
will enter space and return,  
men she cannot imagine.  
Lost in gigantic paper suits,  
they move like sea creatures.  
A voice will crackle from out  
there where no voices are  
speaking of the great theater  
of conquest, of advancing  
beyond the simple miracles  
of flight, the small ventures  
of birds and beasts. The President  
will answer with words she  
cannot remember having  
spoken ever to anyone. 

THE PHONE CALL 

She calls Chicago, but no one  
is home. The operator asks  
for another number but still  
no one answers. Together  
they try twenty-one numbers,  
and at each no one is ever home.  
"Can I call Baltimore?" she asks.  
She can, but she knows no one  
in Baltimore, no one in  
St. Louis, Boston, Washington.  
She imagines herself standing  
before the glass wall high  
over Lake Shore Drive, the cars  
below fanning into the city.  
East she can see all the way  
to Gary and the great gray clouds  
of exhaustion rolling over  
the lake where her vision ends.  
This is where her brother lives.  
At such height there's nothing,  
no birds, no growing, no noise.  
She leans her sweating forehead  
against the cold glass, shudders,  
and puts down the receiver. 

THE GARDEN 

Wherever she turns her garden  
is alive and growing. The thin  
spears of wild asparagus, shaft  
of tulip and flag, green stain  
of berry buds along the vines,  
even in the eaten leaf of  
pepper plants and clipped stalk  
of snap bean. Mid-afternoon  
and already the grass is dry  
under the low sun. Bluejay  
and dark capped juncos hidden  
in dense foliage waiting  
the sun's early fall, when she  
returns alone to hear them  
call and call back, and finally  
in the long shadows settle  
down to rest and to silence  
in the sudden rising chill. 

THE GAME 

Two boys are playing ball  
in the backyard, throwing it  
back and forth in the afternoon's  
bright sunshine as a black mongrel  
big as a shepherd races  
from one to the other. She  
hides behind the heavy drapes  
in her dining room and listens,  
but they're too far. Who are  
they? They move about her yard  
as though it were theirs. Are they  
the sons of her sons? They've  
taken off their shirts, and she  
sees they're not boys at all --  
a dark smudge of hair rises  
along the belly of one --, and now  
they have the dog down thrashing  
on his back, snarling and flashing  
his teeth, and they're laughing. 

AFTER DINNER 

She's eaten dinner talking  
back to the television, she's  
had coffee and brandy, done  
the dishes and drifted into  
and out of sleep over a book  
she found beside the couch. It's  
time for bed, but she goes  
instead to the front door, unlocks  
it, and steps onto the porch.  
Behind her she can hear only  
the silence of the house. The lights  
throw her shadow down the stairs  
and onto the lawn, and she walks  
carefully to meet it. Now she's  
standing in the huge, whispering  
arena of night, hearing her  
own breath tearing out of her  
like the cries of an animal.  
She could keep going into  
whatever the darkness brings,  
she could find a presence there  
her shaking hands could hold  
instead of each other. 

SLEEP 

A dark sister lies beside her  
all night, whispering  
that it's not a dream, that fire  
has entered the spaces between  
one face and another.  
There will be no wakening.  
When she wakens, she can't  
catch her own breath, so she yells  
for help. It comes in the form  
of sleep. They whisper  
back and forth, using new words  
that have no meaning  
to anyone. The aspen shreds  
itself against her window.  
The oranges she saw that day  
in her yard explode  
in circles of oil, the few stars  
quiet and darken. They go on,  
two little girls up long past  
their hour, playing in bed. 

 
LE RÊVE 

Ceci n'a rien à faire avec la guerre ou l'extrémité du monde. Elle 
rêve là sont des starlings gris sur la pelouse d'hiver et les 
bourgeons des oranges de l'année prochaine à côté des oranges de 
cette année, et le soleil est toujours vers le haut, un cercle aqueux 
du feu arrangeant dans le ciel au temps de dîner, mais il n'y a 
aucune flamme emballant par la maison ou menaçant le lit. Quand elle 
wakens que le téléphone sonne dans une salle éloignée, mais elle 
ne va pas lui répondre. Personne n'est à la maison avec elle, et les 
voitures passant avant la maison sifflent sous la pluie. "mes 
enfants!" elle dit presque, mais il n'y a plus des enfants à la 
maison, il n'y a plus ceux qui se tournerait vers elle, leurs visages 
fonctionnant avec des larmes, et lui demande la rémission. 

LA GUERRE 

Le central du Michigan le jour après victoire. Son frère à la 
maison de l'Europe après des années de la terreur de sa mère, et 
lui toujours si jeune mais maintenant avec l'ombre foncée d'une 
barbe, la tenant étroitement parmi tous les autres réclamant leurs 
épouses ou filles. Que nuit dans la salle avant serrée de la famille 
et des voisins -- il était le premier arrière sur le bloc -- il 
s'asseyait toujours les jambes croisées sur le plancher dans son 
uniforme de laines, fumant et buvant pendant qu'il parlait de la 
passer haut au-dessus des villes foncées lirait seulement environ. Il 
a voulu retourner à plusieurs reprises. Il  a voulu faire ceci pour 
le pays, parce que ceci -- une petite maison avec en haut des chambres 
à coucher -- ainsi il  demandé à aller sur l'incursion après 
incursion comme s'il était affamé de tuer ou être tué. 

LE PRÉSIDENT 

Aujourd'hui à la télévision les hommes écriront l'espace et le 
retour, hommes qu'elle ne peut pas imaginer. Perdu dans les costumes 
de papier colossaux, ils se déplacent comme des créatures de mer. Un 
craquement de volonté de voix de dehors là où aucune voix n'est 
parler du grand théâtre de la conquête, d'avancer au delà des 
miracles simples du vol, des petites entreprises des oiseaux et des 
bêtes. Le président répondra avec des mots qu'elle ne peut pas se 
rappeler pour avoir parlés jamais à n'importe qui. 

L'APPEL TÉLÉPHONIQUE 

Elle appelle Chicago, mais personne n'est à la maison. L'opérateur 
demande un autre nombre mais toujours unique réponses. Ensemble ils 
essayent vingt et un nombres, et à chaque personne est jamais à la 
maison. "peux j'appelle Baltimore?" elle demande. Elle bidon, mais 
elle ne sait personne à Baltimore, personne à St Louis, Boston, 
Washington. Elle s'imagine se tenir avant que la commande finie 
élevée de rivage de lac de mur de verre, les voitures au-dessous 
d'éventer dans la ville. Est elle peut voir toute la manière à Gary 
et aux grands nuages gris du roulement d'épuisement au-dessus du lac 
où sa vision finit. C'est où son frère vit. À une telle taille il 
n'y a rien, aucuns oiseaux, aucune croissance, aucun bruit. Elle se 
penche son front de transpiration contre le verre froid, frissons, et 
a déposé le récepteur. 

LE JARDIN 

Partout où elle tourne son jardin est vivant et croissance. Les 
lances minces de l'asperge sauvage, de l'axe de la tulipe et du 
drapeau, tache verte de baie bourgeonne le long des vignes, même dans 
la feuille mangée des usines de poivre et a coupé la tige de 
l'haricot instantané. Mi-après-midi et déjà l'herbe est sèche 
sous le bas soleil. Bluejay et juncos couverts foncés cachés dans le 
feuillage dense attendant la chute tôt du soleil, quand elle seul 
retourne pour entendre eux appeler et l'appel retour, et finalement 
dans les longues ombres se fixent pour se reposer et amortir dans le 
froid se levant soudain. 

LE JEU 

Deux garçons jouent la boule dans la arrière-cour, la jetant dans 
les deux sens au soleil lumineux de l'après-midi en tant que grand 
métis noir en tant que courses d'un berger d'une à l'autre. Elle se 
cache derrière le lourd drape dans sa pièce dinante et écoute, mais 
ils sont trop lointains. Qui sont-elles ? Ils se déplacent au sujet 
de sa cour comme s'elle étaient à eux. Sont-ils les fils de ses fils 
? Ils ont enlevé leurs chemises, et elle voit qu'elles ne sont pas 
des garçons du tout -- une bavure foncée des élévations de cheveux 
le long du ventre d'un --. et maintenant elles ont le chien battre 
vers le bas sur le sien en arrière, gronder et clignoter ses dents, 
et ils rient. 

APRÈS DÎNER 

Elle est dîner mangé parlant de nouveau à la télévision, elle est 
café et eau-de-vie fine eus, fait les plats et dérivé dans et hors 
du sommeil au-dessus d'un livre elle a trouvé près du divan. Il est 
temps pour le lit, mais elle va à la place à la porte avant, 
l'ouvre, et fait un pas sur le porche. Derrière elle elle peut 
entendre seulement le silence de la maison. Les lumières jettent son 
ombre en bas des escaliers et sur la pelouse, et elle marche 
soigneusement pour la rencontrer. Maintenant elle se tient dans 
l'arène énorme et chuchotante de la nuit, entendant son propre 
souffle déchirer hors d'elle comme les cris d'un animal. Elle 
pourrait continuer à entrer dans celui que l'obscurité apporte, elle 
pourrait trouver une présence là qu'elle se serrant la main pourrait 
se tenir au lieu de l'un l'autre. 

SOMMEIL 

Une soeur foncée se trouve près de sa toute la nuit, chuchotant que 
ce n'est pas un rêve, que le feu a écrit les espaces entre un visage 
et un autre. Il n'y aura aucun wakening. Quand elle des wakens, elle 
ne peut pas attraper son propre souffle, ainsi elle hurle pour l'aide. 
Elle vient sous forme de sommeil. Ils chuchotent dans les deux sens, 
en utilisant les nouveaux mots qui n'ont aucune signification à 
n'importe qui. Le tremble se déchiquette contre sa fenêtre. Les 
oranges elle a vu que le jour en sa cour éclatent en cercles d'huile, 
les quelques étoiles tranquilles et obscurcit. Elles continuent, 
deux petites filles vers le haut du long passé leur heure, jouant 
dans le lit. 

 
DER TRAUM 

Dieses hat nichts, mit Krieg oder dem Ende der Welt zu tun. Sie 
träumt dort ist graue starlings auf dem Winterrasen und den Knospen 
der Orangen des folgenden Jahres neben diesjährigen Orangen, und die 
Sonne ist noch oben, ein wäßriger Kreis des Feuers vereinbarend in 
den Himmel zur Abendessenzeit, aber es gibt keine Flamme, die durch 
das Haus läuft oder das Bett bedroht. Wenn sie wakens, die das 
Telefon in einem entfernten Raum schellt, aber, sie geht nicht, ihn zu 
beantworten. Niemand ist mit ihr Haupt, und die Autos, die vor dem 
Haus überschreiten, zischen im Regen. "meine Kinder!" sie sagt fast, 
aber es gibt nicht mehr Kinder zu Hause, gibt es nicht mehr die, die 
an sie wenden würden, ihre Gesichter, die mit Rissen laufen, und 
bittet sie um um Verzeihen. 

DER KRIEG 

Der Michigan zentrale Anschluß der Tag nach Sieg. Ihr Bruder Haupt 
von Europa nach Jahren des Terrors ihr Mutter und er noch so jung aber 
jetzt mit dem dunklen Schatten eines Bartes, sie unter allen anderen 
fest halten, die ihre Frauen oder Mädchen verlangen. Daß Nacht im 
vorderen Raum, der mit Familie und Nachbarn gedrängt wurde -- er war 
erstes rückseitiges auf dem Block -- er, mit überkreuzten Beinen auf 
dem Fußboden noch in seiner Wolleuniform saß und rauchte und trinkt, 
während er von über die dunklen Städte sie stark führen sprach, 
würde nur ungefähr lesen. Er wurde wollte zurück immer wieder 
gehen. Er wurde wollte dies für das Land tun, denn dieses -- ein 
kleines Haus mit oben Schlafzimmern -- also wurde er gebeten, auf 
Überfall nach Überfall zu gehen, als wenn er hungerte, um zu töten 
oder getötet zu werden. 

DER PRÄSIDENT 

Heute auf Fernsehen tragen Männer Raum und Rückkehr, Männer ein, 
die sie nicht sich vorstellen kann. Verloren in den gigantischen 
Papierklagen, ziehen sie wie Segeschöpfe um. Eine Stimme knistert von 
heraus dort, wo keine Stimmen Sprechen des großen Theaters der 
Eroberung, des Vorrückens über den einfachen Wundern des Fluges, der 
kleinen Wagnisse der Vögel und der Tiere hinaus sind. Der Präsident 
antwortet mit an Wörtern, die sie nicht mit niemandem, überhaupt 
gesprochen zu haben sich erinnern kann. 

DER TELEFONANRUF 

Sie benennt Chicago, aber niemand ist Haupt. Der Operator bittet um 
eine andere Zahl aber noch keine Antworten. Versuchen sie 
einundzwanzig zusammen Zahlen, und an jedem keinem ist überhaupt 
Haupt. "kann ich benenne Baltimore?" sie bittet. Sie Dose, aber sie 
wissen keine in Baltimore, keine in St. Louis, Boston, Washington. Sie 
stellt sich vor zu stehen bevor der Glaswand hohe 
Übersee-Ufer-Antrieb, die Autos unterhalb des Auflockerns in die 
Stadt. Ost kann sie zu Gary und zu den großen grauen Wolken des 
Abführungrollens über dem See vollständig sehen, in dem ihr Anblick 
beendet. Dieses ist, wo ihr Bruder lebt. Auf solcher Höhe gibt es 
nichts, keine Vögel, kein Wachsen, keine Geräusche. Sie lehnt ihre 
schwitzende Stirn am kalten Glas, Schauer und setzt sich hinunter den 
Empfänger. 

DER GARTEN 

Wohin sie sich dreht, ist ihr Garten lebendig und Wachsen. Die dünnen 
Stangen des wilden Spargels, der Welle der Tulpe und der 
Markierungsfahne, grüner Fleck der Beere knospt entlang den Reben, 
die im gegessenen Blatt der Pfefferbetriebe gleichmäßig sind und 
befestigte Stiel der Schnellbohne. Mittler-Nachmittag und bereits ist 
das Gras unter der niedrigen Sonne trocken. Bluejay und die dunklen 
mit einer Kappe bedeckten Juncos, die im dichten Laub wartet den 
frühen Fall des Sonnen versteckt werden, wenn sie alleine 
zurückkommt, um sie Wiederholungsbesuch, zu benennen und zu hören, 
und schließlich in den langen Schatten vereinbaren unten, um im 
plötzlichen steigenden Schauer stillzustehen und zum Schweigen zu 
bringen. 

DAS SPIEL 

Zwei Jungen spielen Kugel im Hinterhof und hin und her werfen sie in 
den hellen Sonnenschein des Nachmittages als schwarzes nicht 
reinrassiges grosses als Rennen eines Schäferhunds von einem zum 
anderen. Sie versteckt sich hinter dem schweren drapiert in ihrem 
speisenden Raum und hört, aber sie sind zu weit. Wer sind sie? Sie 
ziehen über ihr Yard um, als wenn es ihr war. Sind sie die Söhne 
ihrer Söhne? Sie haben ihre Hemden entfernt, und sie sieht, daß sie 
nicht Jungen an allen sind -- eine dunkle Schmierstelle der 
Haaraufstiege entlang dem Bauch von einem --. und jetzt haben sie den 
Hund, auf seinem unten zurück zu schlagen, zu verwirren und zu 
blitzen seine Zähne, und sie lachen. 

NACH ABENDESSEN 

Sie ist gegessenes Abendessen sprechend zurück zu dem Fernsehen, ist 
sie gegessener Kaffee und Weinbrand, getan den Tellern und in 
getrieben und aus Schlaf über einem Buch heraus fand sie neben der 
Couch. Es ist Zeit für Bett, aber sie geht anstatt zur vorderen Tür, 
entriegelt sie und tritt auf das Portal. Hinter ihr kann sie nur die 
Ruhe des Hauses hören. Die Lichter werfen ihren Schatten hinunter die 
Treppe und auf den Rasen, und sie geht sorgfältig ihn treffen. Jetzt 
steht flüstert sie im sehr großen und die Arena der Nacht und 
hört ihren eigenen Atem, aus ihr wie den Schreien eines Tieres heraus 
heftig zu zerreißen. Sie könnte in, einzusteigen halten was auch 
immer die Schwärzung holt, sie könnte eine Anwesenheit, dort finden, 
das sie Hände rüttelnd anstelle von einander halten könnte. 

SCHLAF 

Eine dunkle Schwester liegt neben ihrer aller Nacht und 
flüstert, daß es nicht ein Traum ist, daß Feuer die Räume 
zwischen einem Gesicht und anderen eingetragen hat. Es gibt kein 
Wakening. Wenn sie wakens, sie nicht ihren eigenen Atem, also, sie 
sich verfangen kann kreischt für Hilfe. Sie kommt in Form von Schlaf. 
Sie flüstern hin und her und verwenden neue Wörter, die keine 
Bedeutung zu jedermann haben. Die Espe zerreißt sich gegen ihr 
Fenster. Die Orangen sah sie, daß Tag in ihrem Yard in den Kreisen 
des Öls explodieren, die wenigen Sterne auf stille Art und verdunkelt 
sich. Sie gehen, zwei kleine Mädchen herauf lange Vergangenheit ihre 
Stunde weiter und spielen im Bett. 

 
O SONHO 

Isto não tem nada fazer com guerra ou a extremidade do mundo. Sonha 
lá é starlings cinzentos no gramado do inverno e nos buds de 
laranjas do ano seguinte ao lado das laranjas deste ano, e o sol é 
ainda acima, um círculo aquoso do fogo que estabelece-se no céu no 
tempo do jantar, mas não há nenhuma flama que compete através da 
casa ou que ameaça a cama. Quando ela wakens que o telefone está 
soando em um quarto distante, mas ela não vai responder-lhe. Ninguém 
é home com ela, e os carros que passam antes da casa silvam na chuva. 
"minhas crianças!" diz quase, mas não há nenhuma criança mais 
longa no repouso, há não mais longo aqueles que lhe girariam para, 
suas caras que funcionam com rasgos, e pede-lhe o forgiveness. 

A GUERRA 

O terminal central de Michigan o dia após a vitória. Seu irmão home 
de Europa após anos do terror da sua mãe, e ele ainda assim novo mas 
agora com a sombra escura de um beard, prendendo a firmemente entre 
toda a outra que chama-se para suas esposas ou meninas. Que noite no 
quarto dianteiro aglomerado com família e vizinhos -- era primeiro 
traseiro no bloco -- se sentou cross-legged no assoalho ainda em seu 
uniforme de lãs, fumando e bebendo enquanto falou de a passar 
altamente sobre as cidades escuras leria somente aproximadamente. 
quis ir para trás repetidas vezes.  quis fazer isto para o país, 
porque isto -- uma casa pequena com upstairs os bedrooms -- assim que 
  pedido para ir na invasão após a invasão como se desejou para 
matar ou ser matado. 

O PRESIDENTE 

Hoje na televisão os homens incorporarão o espaço e o retorno, 
homens que não pode imaginar. Perdido em ternos de papel gigantescos, 
movem-se como criaturas do mar. Uma voz crackle de para fora lá onde 
nenhuma voz é discurso do teatro grande do conquest, de avançar 
além dos miracles simples do vôo, dos riscos pequenos dos pássaros 
e de bestas. O presidente responderá com palavras que não pode 
recordar ter falado sempre a qualquer um. 

A CHAMADA DE TELEFONE 

Chama Chicago, mas ninguém é home. O operador pede outro número mas 
ainda no.one respostas. Junto tentam vinte e um números, e em cada 
ninguém é sempre home. "posso eu chamo Baltimore?" pede. Lata, mas 
sabe ninguém em Baltimore, ninguém em St. Louis, Boston, Washington. 
Imagina-se estar antes que a movimentação excedente elevada da costa 
do lago da parede de vidro, os carros abaixo de ventilar na cidade. Do 
leste pode ver toda a maneira a Gary e às nuvens cinzentas grandes do 
rolling do exhaustion sobre o lago onde sua visão termina. Isto é o 
lugar onde seu irmão vive. Em tal altura não há nada, nenhuns 
pássaros, nenhum crescimento, nenhum ruído. Inclina sua testa suando 
de encontro ao vidro frio, shudders, e coloca o receptor. 

O JARDIM 

Onde quer que gira seu jardim é vivo e crescer. As lanças finas de 
espargos selvagens, de eixo do tulip e de bandeira, mancha verde da 
baga buds ao longo das videiras, uniformes na folha comida de plantas 
da pimenta e grampearam o stalk do feijão snap. Mid-tarde e já a 
grama está seca sob o sol baixo. Bluejay e os juncos tampados escuros 
escondidos no foliage denso que espera a queda adiantada do sun, 
quando retorna sozinho para ouvir o se chamar para trás e a chamada, 
e finalmente nas sombras longas estabelecem-se para baixo para 
descansar e silenciar no frio levantando-se repentino. 

O JOGO 

Dois meninos estão jogando a esfera no quintal, jogando a para a 
frente e para trás na luz do sol brilhante da tarde como um grande 
mongrel preto como raças de um shepherd de uma para a outra. Esconde 
atrás do pesado drapeja em seu quarto jantando e escuta, mas são 
demasiado distantes. Quem são eles? Movem-se sobre sua jarda como se 
era dela. São os filhos de seus filhos? Retiraram suas camisas, e vê 
que não são meninos em tudo -- um borrão escuro de ascensões do 
cabelo ao longo da barriga de um --. e agora têm o cão para baixo 
debulhar em his para trás, snarling e piscar seus dentes, e estão 
rindo. 

APÓS O JANTAR 

É jantar comido que fala para trás à televisão, é café e 
conhaque comidos, feito os pratos e drifted em e fora do sono sobre um 
livro encontrou ao lado do couch. É hora para a cama, mas vai 
preferivelmente à porta dianteira, destrava-a, e pisa-a no porch. 
Atrás dela pode ouvir somente o silêncio da casa. As luzes jogam sua 
sombra abaixo as escadas e no gramado, e anda com cuidado para 
encontrar-se com o. Agora está estando na arena enorme, sussurrando 
da noite, ouvindo sua própria respiração rasgar fora dela como os 
gritos de um animal. Poderia manter-se entrar em o que quer que a 
escuridão traz, ela poderia encontrar uma presença lá que que agita 
as mãos poderia prender em vez de se. 

SONO 

Uma irmã escura encontra-se ao lado de sua toda a noite, sussurrando 
que não é um sonho, que o fogo incorporou os espaços entre uma cara 
e outra. Não haverá nenhum wakening. Quando wakens, ela não pode a 
travar sua própria respiração, assim que grita para a ajuda. Vem no 
formulário do sono. Sussurram para a frente e para trás, usando as 
palavras novas que não têm nenhum meaning a qualquer um. O álamo 
tremedor shreds de encontro a sua janela. As laranjas viu que o dia em 
sua jarda explode nos círculos do óleo, poucas estrelas quiet e 
escurece-se. Vão sobre, duas meninas pequenas acima do passado longo 
sua hora, jogando na cama. 

 
EL SUEÑO 

Esto no tiene nada hacer con guerra o el extremo del mundo. Ella 
sueña allí es starlings grises en el césped del invierno y los 
brotes de las naranjas del año próximo junto a naranjas relativas a 
este año, y el sol todavía está para arriba, un círculo acuoso del 
fuego que coloca en el cielo en el tiempo de la cena, pero no hay 
llama que compite con a través de la casa o que amenaza la cama. 
Cuando ella wakens que el teléfono está sonando en un cuarto 
distante, solamente ella no va a contestarle. Nadie es casero con 
ella, y los coches que pasan antes de la casa silban en la lluvia. 
"mis niños!" ella casi dice, pero no hay niños más largos en el 
país, hay no más largo los que darían vuelta a ella, sus caras que 
funcionan con los rasgones, y le pide perdón. 

LA GUERRA 

El terminal central de Michigan el día después de la victoria. Su 
hermano casero de Europa después de años del terror de su madre, y 
todavía él tan joven pero ahora con la sombra oscura de una barba, 
sosteniéndola firmemente entre todos los otras que llaman para sus 
esposas o muchachas. Que noche en el cuarto delantero apretado con la 
familia y los vecinos -- él era primer trasero en el bloque -- él 
todavía se sentó a piernas cruzadas en el piso en su uniforme de 
las lanas, fumando y bebiendo mientras que él habló de pasarla 
arriba sobre las ciudades oscuras leería solamente alrededor. Él 
deseó ir detrás repetidas veces. Él  deseó hacer esto para el 
país, porque esto -- una casa pequeña con arriba los dormitorios -- 
así que él  pedido ir en la incursión después de la incursión 
como si él tuvo hambre para matar o para ser matado. 

EL PRESIDENTE 

Hoy en la televisión los hombres incorporarán el espacio y la 
vuelta, hombres que ella no puede imaginarse. Perdido en juegos de 
papel gigantescos, se mueven como criaturas del mar. Un crujido de 
la voluntad de la voz de hacia fuera allí donde no hay discurso voces 
del gran teatro de la conquista, de avanzar más allá de los milagros 
simples del vuelo, de las empresas pequeñas de pájaros y de las 
bestias. El presidente contestará con palabras que ella no puede 
recordar hablar siempre a cualquier persona. 

LA LLAMADA TELEFÓNICA 

Ella llama Chicago, pero nadie es casera. El operador pide otro 
número pero aún nadie respuestas. Juntos intentan veintiuno 
números, y en cada nadie es siempre casero. "puedo llamo Baltimore?" 
ella pide. Ella lata, pero ella sabe nadie en Baltimore, nadie en St. 
Louis, Boston, Washington. Ella se imagina el estar parada antes de 
que la alta impulsión excesiva de la orilla del lago de la pared de 
cristal, los coches debajo de aventar en la ciudad. Del este ella 
puede ver toda la manera a Gary y a las grandes nubes grises del 
balanceo del agotamiento sobre el lago en donde su visión termina. 
Aquí es donde vive su hermano. En tal altura no hay nada, ningunos 
pájaros, ningún crecimiento, ningún ruido. Ella se inclina la 
frente sudante contra el cristal frío, estremecimientos, y colocó el 
receptor. 

EL JARDÍN 

Dondequiera que ella dé vuelta su jardín es vivo y crecimiento. Las 
lanzas finas del espárrago salvaje, del eje del tulipán y de la 
bandera, mancha verde de la baya florecen a lo largo de las vides, 
uniformes en la hoja comida de las plantas de la pimienta y acortaron 
el tallo de la haba rápida. Mediados de-tarde y la hierba es ya seca 
debajo del sol bajo. Bluejay y los juncos capsulados oscuros ocultados 
en el follaje denso que espera la caída temprana del sun, cuando ella 
vuelve solamente para oír los llamar y llamada detrás, y finalmente 
en las sombras largas colocan abajo para reclinarse y para silenciar 
en la frialdad de levantamiento repentina. 

EL JUEGO 

Dos muchachos están jugando la bola en el patio trasero, lanzándola 
hacia adelante y hacia atrás en la sol brillante de la tarde como 
grande mestizo negro como razas de un pastor a partir de la una a la 
otra. Ella oculta detrás del pesado cubre en su sitio que cena y 
escucha, pero son demasiado lejana. ¿Quiénes son ellos? Se mueven 
sobre su yarda como si era la suya. ¿Son los hijos de sus hijos? Han 
sacado sus camisas, y ella ve que no son muchachos en todos -- una 
mancha oscura de las subidas del pelo a lo largo del vientre de un --. 
y ahora tienen el perro abajo el golpear en el suyo detrás, el grunir 
y el destellar sus dientes, y están riendo. 

DESPUÉS DE CENA 

Ella es cena comida que habla de nuevo a la televisión, ella es café 
y brandy comidos, hecho los platos y mandilado en y fuera de sueño 
sobre un libro ella encontró al lado del sofá. Es hora para la cama, 
pero ella va en lugar de otro a la puerta delantera, la abre, y camina 
sobre el pórtico. Detrás de ella ella puede oír solamente el 
silencio de la casa. Las luces lanzan su sombra abajo de las escaleras 
y sobre el césped, y ella camina cuidadosamente para resolverlo. 
Ahora ella está estando parada en la arena enorme, susurrante de la 
noche, oyendo su propia respiración el rasgarse de ella como los 
gritos de un animal. Ella podría guardar el entrar lo que la 
oscuridad trae, ella podría encontrar una presencia allí que ella 
que sacudaría las manos podría llevar a cabo en vez de uno a. 

SUEÑO 

Una hermana oscura miente al lado de su toda la noche, susurrando que 
no es un sueño, que el fuego ha incorporado los espacios entre una 
cara y otra. No habrá el wakening. Cuando ella los wakens, ella no 
puede coger su propia respiración, así que la grita para la ayuda. 
Viene en la forma de sueño. Susurran hacia adelante y hacia atrás, 
con las nuevas palabras que no tienen ningún significado a cualquier 
persona. El álamo temblón se destroza contra su ventana. Las 
naranjas ella vio que el día en su yarda estalla en círculos del 
aceite, las pocas estrellas silenciosamente y obscurece. Se encienden, 
dos pequeñas muchachas encima del pasado largo su hora, jugando en 
cama.
