after Mary Oliver

          Pauline Palko

 

 

Gently her mother stands

to visit the buffet in this place

of common fare. I guard

 

belongings with her child

held close, talking

nonsense, voice mapping

 

a rhythm, owning

the onyx-eyed infant

of my friend; for a few moments

 

she clasps my thumb. Devotion

returns with a full plate

releasing me to fill my own again

 

with theories, culture; this is

an ample cup.
