Here<br \/>\nis the loon that left behind the small, white<br \/>\nafter-image of its breast, here above a brown<br \/>\nshadow is the beaver slowly moving<\/p>\n<p>its nose-print. Around it is a darkening<br \/>\ntwilight like ours, decades ago, when<br \/>\nthe ghost of Harland Hutchinson,<br \/>\non the roof of the pond\u2019s original camp,<br \/>\nbrings his hammer down in silence<\/p>\n<p>making the delayed echo of each blow,<br \/>\nwhich is the pond listening and storing<br \/>\nthe sound away in its pond mind. There,<br \/>\nmy love, if you can imagine, it is always<br \/>\ntwilight, and always the morning after<\/p>\n<p>the hard freeze when long-dead Caroline<br \/>\nBarlach, up from New York City to winter<br \/>\nin her godforsaken shack and write the great<br \/>\nAmerican novel, bends toward the hole<br \/>\nshe has cut in the ice for water to creat,<\/p>\n<p>unknown to her, a shaggy, unforgettable<br \/>\ncameo of her face. For nothing in the quick<br \/>\ndouble-knowing of the pond is ever lost,<br \/>\nthough on this night as the wind comes up,<br \/>\nthe single cry of a loon falls away<\/p>\n<p>somewhere beyond Lucy Point,<br \/>\nand the reflection of the pines that rim<br \/>\nthe pond darkens around us, and the ghosts<br \/>\nof you and me, barely visible off our dock,<br \/>\nbreak apart on waves beside a shifting moon.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<table border=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Notebook Page 1<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-nbp1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-12497\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-nbp1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-nbp1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-nbp1-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-nbp1-115x115.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Transcript 1<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-ovr1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-12500\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-ovr1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-ovr1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-ovr1-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-ovr1-115x115.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" colspan=\"2\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Transitions and Structure<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Notebook Page 2<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-nbp2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-12498\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-nbp2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-nbp2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-nbp2-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-nbp2-115x115.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Transcript 2<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-ovr2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-12501\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-ovr2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-ovr2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-ovr2-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/copycscmcnair\/files\/2011\/05\/lovepoem-ovr2-115x115.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" colspan=\"2\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Endings and Line Breaks<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;
