Three More Poems from "Sonnet"

one august day

we trudged

up the path

to the top

of bread loaf

mountain

how do you keep going
she asked

over his shoulder 
he said 

I think of something else

--

conversation’s

never about

the topic

--

translation

equals

metaphor

a simple

geometric

congruency

to speak

is metaphor

to our reflection

what

are we

saying


from "Sonnet," (work in progress, line 10, syllables 4-6)
