    uncorked. Taffeta wraps whispered on davenports.
    A new planet bloomed above us; in its light
    the stumps of cut pine gleamed like dinner plates.
    The world was beginning all over again, fresh and hot;
    we could have anything we wanted.”
    —Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)

    “a child who traced voyages
    indelibly all over the atlas, who now in a far country
    remembers the first river, the first
    field, bricks and lumber dumped in it ready for building,
    that new smell, and remembers
    the walls of the garden, the first light.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
