Another list of things that won't be fixed. First two, there may be more:
i)
The catch in her voice
as she says "in those days
things were different"
meaning particular things
not speakable then and not
speakable now
meaning the aura
around those things
and all things touched by it
ii)
Nostalgia bespeaks a home
imaginary as may be
where you or a part of you
are even now indoors
sheathed against the day
the ram comes through the wall
to make the house secure
peace comes to the town
sector by sector
