THE SECOND MARRIAGE REARS ITS HEAD
\nBUT DOES NOT ATTACK<\/strong><\/p>\n

One night in bed, slowly,
\nin between blackouts
\nand screaming matches, lamps hurled,
\nknives and ripped upholstery,
\nwe ate a box of ginger snaps
\nas we stared at something
\non TV, two mumbling,
\nfat and happy zombies,
\nand chased the cookies with cold milk,
\nlanguorously. We sipped,
\nthe better to savor a little
\nsweetness on our lips<\/p>\n

TO THE DEER THAT GLANCED OFF MY CAR UNHURT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you. It was just a tap,
\na startling reminder
\nthat I must return before it is too late
\nto my own woods,
\nwhere the sudden movements of my life
\nhave hurt the ones I love the most,
\nwhere perhaps confession
\nis taken in a tongue
\nlike moss, wet, forgiving,
\nby a pond so deeply hidden we forgot it
\nand nearly died of thirst.<\/p>\n
