A Third Thank-You Letter
Marie Ponsot
“[…]
The Seine and the sky refract each other's rain.
Unrefracting, I
lost June looking for you.
Every river needs an island
to underline its wetness with
that surge of green plume
every island needs.
And here, among the green where
the curve of the river ramparts retains
the river in stone, and the curves in pencil
retain the pulse of these words,
you are.”
