Up Into Cathedrals Poem by Robert Rorabeck

Up Into Cathedrals



I get up into Cathedrals: Alma walks around
Stroking and cooing to her children:
The walls are of her favorite color:
The leap in foxtail palms and everglades- and the children
Ripple through them
Skipping nursery rhymes over the rich banks of a baseball diamond
Where she sees me from across the field
And her eyes, like undiscovered plagiarisms, tell me that
I don’t have to leave.
