Declaring the Wild - Poem
Literary Review, Summer, 2000 by Eileen Hennessy
Eight things a day, that's all they ask us to declare. We know you have billions, they say. So we take our places in the line and say what words we can. On the quiet side, there's declaring to Customs, declaring to a court, declaring last year's income for taxes. There are also declarations of intent and love and truth-telling, but here we're moving toward the wilder side, a chilly wind blows, a white plastic bag chatters along a path, angels of the Lord declare, Here's where you'll build your town, So we take our places in the line and build the stories we live by, pile word upon word into houses. Out here. On this sandy coast. In this country of gale-force winds.
Eileen Hennessy, an adjunct associate professor in the Translation Studies program at NYU, has had her poetry published in The Paris Review, Western Humanities Review, Prairie Schooner, and in several anthologies
