River
He was steady,
she told me,
like a rock.
I was only a child
but I wanted
to say a man
is not a rock.
I myself would
have preferred
a man who was
like a river,
changing
and quick,
always
a surprise.
— Alice Hoffman, "The Red Garden"

Doe
She thought of deer
and how they slipped
through the woods,
invisible,
as if they were
ghosts themselves.
