from Harvard Classics
Though there is no money,
no one seems to care. We
are self-possessed as bugs
waving their antennae
through cracks in the kitchen's
linoleum floor. When
Father begins to read
from the red gilt volume
in his lap, a circle
of light encapsulates
us like hearts in a womb.
Except their marriage is
already dead. I know
this though I'm only six.
So we visit pharaohs,
a boatman on the Nile,
Crusaders eating grapes
on a beach. Life escapes
with all its sadness while
two tragic Greek poets
inhabit Father's voice.
– Henri Cole (1996)
