Abstract
No Rest X. J. Kennedy (bio) Only these maples weave with wood:Their leafless branches intertwineBlack warps and woofs against the shineOf winter sky. I wish I couldUse such a blanket, but I knowSleeping beneath it might be hard.It stands upright in my backyardAnd shows no sign of falling flat.I need a bed to lie on, though,And not a bed to stand up at. [End Page 362] X. J. Kennedy X. J. KENNEDY is the author of In a Prominent Bar in Secaucus: New and Selected Poems and the translator of The Bestiary of Guillaume Apollinaire, both from the Johns Hopkins University Press. © 2013 by the Johns Hopkins University Press
