Olive Pool, an excerpt

Where will you appear, my mother? As your mother found her way   silver                   into a ghost silhouette    after her death   behind you in the wintry trees I think perhaps I’ll recognize you not as turquoise as expected but pooling olive as a Southwestern hill     slip cover Not Fremont Ellis landscape with rain but mobile by Calder gentle   kinetic   Texas wind vane A hard working literary history   yours  tied in bundles like Emily’s letters to an anonymous lover
