(The Original)<\/p>\n

The old wooden steps to the front door<\/span>
where I was sitting that fall morning<\/span>
when you came downstairs, just awake,<\/span>
and my joy at sight of you (emerging<\/span>
into golden day\u2014<\/span>
the dew almost frost)<\/span>
pulled me to my feet to tell you<\/span>
how much I loved you:<\/span>

those wooden steps<\/span>
are gone now, decayed<\/span>
replaced with granite,<\/span>
hard, gray, and handsome.<\/span>
The old steps live<\/span>
only in me:<\/span>
my feet and thighs<\/span>
remember them, and my hands<\/span>
still feel their splinters.<\/span>

Everything else about and around that house<\/span>
brings memories of others\u2014of marriage,<\/span>
of my son. And the steps do too: I recall<\/span>
sitting there with my friend and her little son who died,<\/span>
or was it the second one who lives and thrives?<\/span>
And sitting there \u2018in my life,\u2019 often, alone or with my husband.<\/span>
Yet that one instant,<\/span>
your cheerful, unafraid, youthful, \u2018I love you too,\u2019<\/span>
the quiet broken by no bird, no cricket, gold leaves<\/span>
spinning in silence down without<\/span>
any breeze to blow them,<\/span>
is what twines itself<\/span>
in my head and body across those slabs of wood<\/span>
that were warm, ancient, and now<\/span>
wait somewhere to be burnt.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
