*From the House of Second Stories*

When you read this you will know it's about you.
Fine. I would tell you what I told you then
but you've forgotten it all
or remembered everything -either way,
it's how you always wanted it.
I will tell you the month is April. I'm in Chicago
writing this from the second story
of an old house
at a desk in front of a window
that overlooks a prairie and
the long field that touches
a forest that edges a large creek
whose name I have not yet learned.
This morning two deer walked through the tall brown grass.
I could say it was then I thought about you,
how much you would have liked
the part about my not knowing.

I Tell You: One must still have chaos in one to give birth to a dancing
