Walking a parallel path West to the zoo
later turning East arriving at the porch
before Doug’s pizza presented on square of blanket,
before Jung Ja and Hyunji take the long long airplane
back to Seoul, and back.

Palmer
Nearest great lake
hundred miles east.
Cumular sails full of air
above Bilsie’s west ridge.
Top sails in place,
Main sails billowing up.
Great ships maneuvering.
Ship after ship, a fleet
carried on swift south wind,
steady on a stratus sea.

Intense indigo back,
wings and belly a Bunting
none like it anywhere.
