Repair

Robin¹ Becker

More stall than store, his cramped²（难懂的） space on Carmine

smelled of Cat's Paw leather cream polish.

A belt, a boot, our shoes for soles: he restored

them, mended your silver heron（苍鹭） lamp

from Norway, replaced your cracked crystal.

He charged so little I wondered how

he paid the rent, a Chekhov character

transposed to the West Village, resolving

toggle switches, latches³（插销）, sundered⁴ bolts,

talking to himself in Russian -- jeweler's

loupe fixed⁵ to his face.

After the towers fell, the shoe and watch

man moved; what we couldn't repair

between us stayed broken.

Seasonal⁶ vendors⁷ hawked⁸ fir and spruce（打扮整齐） wreaths.

A mercantile buzz dizzied

Carmine, where windows of valentines surfaced

and disappeared. In restauro read the sign,

that spring, on the Church of the Sacred Conversation.

I missed our magician of the material,

tried to bring you renovated⁹ things

from the Used CD Emporium

and Bookstore, bazaar¹⁰（集市） of second and third chances,

our New York beyond repair.
