Abstract

ATR/101.2 You polish the silverware and bowls, arrange appliances and cords along the kitchen counter until the line between cleanliness and purity, so pressed and scrubbed, is as fragrant as the opening of an Easter lily. Who would figure that late March in its rumblings—awash in canyon wind and matted, yellow grass—could be so aromatic. When I come home there seems to be an oratorio in the background, rising clarinets preparing for a flare of trumpets. Today the water is turning to wine and the silver coin gleams in the distance, especially as we place a few lilies among the necessities, a sparkle between cables and hardware, a skosh of sun and air, gold and translucent. Mark D. Bennion Mark D. Bennion attended the MFA program at the University of Montana, graduat- ing in 2000. Since then, he has taught composition, creative writing, and literature courses at Ricks College/BYU–Idaho. He is the author of two poetry collections: Psalm & Selah: A Poetic Journey through the Book of Mormon (Parables Publishing, 2009) and Forsythia (Aldrich Press, 2013). He lives with his family in Idaho.
