Recalibration
Polly Buckingham
 
 
The repairman arrives at night to fix
 the telephone wires fried by lightning.
 
He unscrews a metal box encasing a joint1,
 and a tangle2 of colored cords spills out
 
like a half-remembered dream. It works,
 he says. But it will never be the same.
 
I stand in the road and watch him
 drive into the gray dawn, his palm
 
held open out the window.
