VOLUME I
serotinal summersI want to remember us this way—
late September sun streaming through
the window, bread loaves and golden
bunches of grapes on the table,
spoonfuls of hot soup rising
to our lips, filling us
with what endures.
PETER PEREIRA, 'A Pot of Red Lentils' from Saying the World( the post-summer rush, lemony cocktails, skinny dipping in the creek, secrets, persimmons, pearls, the truth, the sting of salt water, blood, mosaic tiles )
