The Orchard on Its Way

 

I wish it would slow,

not the train, but the ponies

shivering in a rain-soaked pasture,

a hundred geese fluttering

in a soggy field,

the eagles we saw this morning

from a station in Vermont,

their wild mating dance—

not the train, but the passing

into memory—I want it all

to last, the chimney falling

back to bricks,

the orchard on its way to bud,

the kiss you gave me

twenty miles back.
