In-Class Exercise (3/14/07)…by naomi

My father took aim out the window,
Following, with his gun
A dark shape moving
In the Queen Anne’s Lace,
In the goldenrod.

My father came in from the field,
Ahead of the dusk, swinging
A groundhog by its black paw.

It was as big as a two-year-old.

“Nathan, Naomi, Stephen,” he said.
“Come out here, on the porch.
I’m going to show you
The chambers of the heart.”
