T. —
Ha! Here I was thinking that my day was so productive, when I realize: it’s after dinner, and I forgot to write to you! Here I am, but now I’m running off again. In the meantime, I’m getting a lot done!
This Moment
Eavan Boland
A neighbourhood.
At dusk.
Things are getting ready
to happen
out of sight.
Stars and moths.
And rinds slanting around fruit.
But not yet.
One tree is black.
One window is yellow as butter.
A woman leans down to catch a child
who has run into her arms
this moment.
Stars rise.
Moths flutter.
Apples sweeten in the dark.

Good afternoon,
