Wave

5
 by Joanna Goodman

    Tell the truth: no key appeared in your mouth,

    no sound like mum, which wouldn't help anyway.

    Give me a word to get through the night.

    Something spontaneous, fluid:

    see the hand's unintended imprint on the shore,

    fireworks dissolving into the black sky——

    Try now. Ripple. Yes.

    Put the two of us in a boat on the gray river;

    keep rowing in a circle while on the hazy banks

    clumps of grass swarm and echo the rhythm of words

    we had once spoken: after this, mistake me for someone else.

    Sleep no more. Wave. Wave. That's love enough.
