Rendezvous                                              

 

Once again, abundant summer rainstorms over the North Woods

Have forced us to cancel our Bois Brule River float trip,

Drive, instead, through wet Saturday, to Duluth,

To savor an afternoon filled with two movies,

Punctuated by a sumptuous salad-lunch at Pizza Luce,

Before returning to this village embracing our lake-lapped cabin,

Resuming our twilight routine of power-walking, canoeing,

Engaging in game after game after game of cribbage,

Late barbequing, dining, by candlelight, at the kitchen table.

 

And now, stretching out, on the living-room sofa, reading,

Accompanied by rain drops on the screens and window panes,

Tap-tap-tapping their peaceful beseeching,

We follow them back to their gently beckoning silence,

Believing they'll lead us to a new rendezvous, beyond sleep.
