beginnings
after Villa at Rueil, E. Manet
in spring,
she will ask
you
to build her a house
of brick
and circumstance
square
and concrete that
keeps
her safe and cuffs her
to
the hearth of your love
she
will sit on the veranda
sipping
cool yellow lemonade
rocking
in a painted pine chair
wondering
the roped route that
brought
you to her.
