Soundings
Rachel Rinehart (bio)
Suddenly, it is nightand the technicianis holding not a wandbut her leather marksand plummet.
Still, we see only static,only mist roilingover the horizon,where maybe you are
a soft light in shadows.Row closer, my child,let me kiss the slip of you,your little body unmadein its making.
Let me put my lipsto the cooling coalof your heart, let me lightyour salt swept lamp. [End Page 102]
O least of mine,let me bless you,your skiff and your sail,let me keep with youthis last flickering vigil—
this hour beforethe carpenter rousesin the scud and swellof fourth watch, steps offthe prow and bids mecome, have faith,
and hand you on. [End Page 103]
