“untethered, like moonwalking”

Post title from Roisín O’Donnell’s Nesting: A Novel (Algonquin Books, February 18, 2025)

Monday Morning

I like this secret walking
in the fog;
unseen, unheard,
among the bushes thick with drops;
the solid path invisible
a rod away—
and only the narrow present is alive.

— Charles Reznikoff, from “Autobiography: Hollywood,” Going To and Fro and Walking Up and Down (1941), The Poems of Charles Reznikoff 1918–1975, ed. Seamus Cooney (Black Sparrow Press, 2005)
