LONGANIMITY


‘Seeing you I want no other life,’
Spelled out in a book
How quietly the thought will disappear,

I need a new dream
This one has grown old and faded,
All frayed ends and tattered corners,

We used to wait
We no longer wait
We used to listen
We no longer listen

Once we were lovers and
Danced in the shadow of the tamarind tree
You sang an Indian love song,
held your shoes in one hand

Then, the squeaking of chairs, grinding of coffee—
sounds and smells of morning ritual—
I could get used to this, I thought

We used to wait
We no longer wait
We used to listen
We no longer listen

I need a new dream
This one will no longer carry me
on its shaky stilts
