"Step away a while, and walk // in silence, slowly, round the parkland lake; / there are bulrushes at water’s edge, their ancient / presences and generations"
"our neighbor declares it black cherry arbitrarily seeded / by a random bird though our two young children insist 'on purpose' / insist 'god' and 'goldfinch' wrought this perfect spot"
