Here is a poem from his forthcoming book:
A Separation
The couple in green sat at the table with fries, which their hands went to, then to their mouths, then down to their laps. At times one went for it while the other waited, or both went, or neither. One touched the other’s knee. The other had arms closed together and turned her head this way and that. What they were was how they were. To that end, I watched from my box. (Around me the people sat in theirs such that they could look at or to the street, where the people passed.) Pass the salt, please. One did.
Niel Rosenthalis is in his second year in the M.F.A. program at Washington University in St. Louis, where he is a T.S. Eliot Scholarship recipient and winner of the Howard Nemerov Award in Poetry.
