THE AUCTION My wife lies in another dream. The quilt covers her like a hill of neat farms, or map of the township that is in heaven, each field and pasture its own color and sufficiency, every farm signed in thread by a bee-angel of those afternoons, the tracks of her inner wandering. In this bed spooled out of rock maple plucked from the slopes above the farm, saints have lain side by side, grinding their teeth square through the winter nights, or tangled together, the swollen flesh finding among the gigantic sleep-rags the wet vestibule, jetting milky spurts into the vessel as secret as that amethyst glass glimpsed once overlaid with dust in the corner of an attic. Galway Kinnell, “The Auction”, I, When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone, Alfred A. Knopf Inc., New York, NY 10019, 1990, p. 12.
