A Month of Sundays

Kathleen Hellen

In the exaggerated light of perigee

I pitter-patter to the bus stop in my flip-flops.

The minute lengthening¹ like a fenced-in shadow on

a lit-up field ... the diamond sparkling, the trees like silent sentries

I can count on when a truck comes up, its headlights ducking between

houses with their lights on, lighting² up the boys in gangs of three

who toss the football, a joke or two. I speak their language with a nod up,

the way it ought to be, never down, never chin tucked under.

We do it right tonight. No forgeries³. No rock and dust in samples

auctioned off. The moon's a base ... or so it seemed ... when was it?

years ago ... a man walked on the chalked and cratered⁴ surface of TV

and seized the flicker⁵ of the future, like a baseball thrown and stuck

in some belief. A flag planted, light-yeared on what's noble.

Michael Jackson's Walk not jive hallucination.

I follow in the footprints, in orange imitation

of a streetlight. I give all my hopes to seas

of cold serenity⁶, The Man in Cheese

or to a rabbit rice-cake-making.

I take the bus to somewhere on

the near side of the pie.
