My Parents Have Come Home Laughing

by Mark Jarman

My parents have come home laughing

From the feast for Robert Burns, late, on foot;

They have leaned against graveyard walls,

Have bent double in the glittering frost,

Their bladders heavy with tea and ginger.

Burns, suspended in a drop, is flicked away

As they wipe their eyes, and is not offended.

What could offend him? Not the squeaking bagpipe

Nor the haggis which, when it was sliced, collapsed

In a meal of blood and oats

Nor the man who read a poem by Scott

As the audience hissed embarrassment

Nor the principal speaker whose topic,

"Burns' View of Crop Rotation," was intended

For farmers, who were not present,

Nor his attempt to cover this error, reciting

The only Burns poem all evening,

"Nine Inch Will Please a Lady," to thickening silence.

They drop their coats in the hall,

Mother first to the toilet, then Father,

And then stand giggling at the phone,

Debating a call to the States, decide no,

And the strength to keep laughing breaks

In a sigh. I hear, as their tired ribs

Press together, their bedroom door not close

And hear also a weeping from both of them

That seems not to be pain, and it comforts me

My Century

by Alan Feldman

The year I was born the atomic bomb went off.

Here I'd just begun, and someone

found the switch to turn off the world.

In the furnace-light, in the central solar fire

of that heat lamp, the future got very finite,

and it was possible to imagine time-travelers

failing to arrive, because there was no time

to arrive in. Inside the clock in the hall

heavy brass cylinders descended.

Tick-tock, the chimes changed their tune

one phrase at a time. The bomb became

a film star, its glamorous globe of smoke

searing the faces of men in beach chairs.

Someone threw up every day at school.

No time to worry about collective death,

when life itself was permeated by ordeals.

And so we grew up accepting things.

In bio we learned there were particles

cruising through us like whales through archipelagoes,

and in civics that if Hitler had gotten the bomb

he'd have used it on the inferior races,

and all this time love was etching its scars

on our skins like maps. The heavens

remained pure, except for little white slits

on the perfect blue skin that planes cut

in the icy upper air, like needles sewing.

From one, a tiny seed might fall

that would make a sun on earth.

And so the century passed, with me still in it,

books waiting on the shelves to become cinders,

what we felt locked up inside, waiting to be read,

down the long corridor of time. I was born

the year the bomb exploded. Twice

whole cities were charred like cities in the Bible,

but we didn't look back. We went on thinking

we could go on, our shapes the same,

darkened now against a background lit by fire.

Forgive me for doubting you're there,

Citizens, on your holodecks with earth wallpaper-

a shadow-toned ancestor with poorly pressed pants,

protected like a child from knowing the future.

My Aunts

by Adam Zagajewski (Translated by Clare Cavanagh)

Always caught up in what they called

the practical side of life

(theory was for Plato),

up to their elbows in furniture, in bedding,

in cupboards and kitchen gardens,

they never neglected the lavender sachets

that turned a linen closet to a meadow.

The practical side of life,

like the Moon's unlighted face,

didn't lack for mysteries;

when Christmastime drew near,

life became pure praxis

and resided temporarily in hallways,

took refuge in suitcases and satchels.

And when somebody died it happened

even in our family, alas

my aunts, preoccupied

with death's practical side,

forgot at last about the lavender,

whose frantic scent bloomed selflessly

beneath a heavy snow of sheets.

Don't just do something, sit there.

And so I have, so I have,

the seasons curling around me like smoke,

Gone to the end of the earth and back without sound
