desire: this love letter, my husband, pioneer, transplant, out of New Jersey by way of Florida, the Gulf of Mexico

claim: a place on this bend in a New England river

desire: a shower of October light under beech

desire: daylight washed by a misty river

stand for: hardwoods

frame us on the edge of river wetlands

desire: tracks over river

run toward light
