Failed Elegy
It seems these days every poem is a failed elegyfor the world. Each one asks correctly, what gooddid writing this do? I cannot deny I often feel angerat the similarities between me and an oil company, especiallyon what is once again the hottest day ever recorded.It is so easy to do nothing except lament our successat writing useless laments. I must confess I tooonce wrote a ridiculous elegy for a broken nail clipper.I said it caught the light of a distant star where beingslook down on us, disappointed yet hopeful we will, like poets,put things in the right order just in time. The clipperemitted a confusing not very mysterious blue light. Sometimesit seems to me the job of a poet is mostly to rearrange the deck chairsnext to a perfect blue swimming pool, then in thosechairs to doze. In another failed elegy I described how all daywe walked through mist to get to the exact spot where Dean specifiedwe should disperse his ashes. It was windy, and we got a lot of himon our hands. In the poem I wrote he shares the name of a chefat Infinity Hospital, which sounds like but is not a beautiful lie.Then I wrote, when I imagine how he must have felt to try to writepoems with a new heart he got from someone youngerwho died, I feel mine fill with the echo of replacement,which was not exactly or perhaps too true. The truth is I walkedalong through the mist thinking many boring things, not feelingmuch of anything except like stopping. We walkedthrough a field of wildflowers that left some yellow powderon our shoes. I just wanted to be home with my wife and son,but the mist really did seem endless. Unlike death, it was not. We droveslowly through the little town until we found a place to eatand did not speak of death. Speaking of speaking of death,Emily Dickinson compared herself to the little wren because she knewit was small and unremarkable. It sings the most notes and sometimeswill take a ride for a little while to eternity in the overcoatof a passing stranger.This poem appears in the December 2024 print edition. It has been excerpted from Matthew Zapruder’s collection, I Love Hearing Your Dreams.
