Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you. —Walt Whitman, “Song of Myself”
When your phone dies, when the map’s legend goes missing, peer into the gopher’s abandoned burrow. Or search for me in margins between assigned reading and page edge, one of many boundaries you cannot measure. . . .
This autumn morning, after the freeze, / They held a summit of the trees. / Motions were made and seconded, / And all the ochre, brown, and red / Snowed down.
