CHRIS GORDON a ring around the moon

:
after the movie
we find the ants
in the bag of candy
:
:
:
footfalls on the wooden
floor I can hear what
I did to your knee
:
:
:
the foundation separates
from the house ants
carry off a beetle
:
:
:
silence on the phone
a spider darts out
from the matchbook
:
:
:
the crow in
the road refuses to move
a thunderstorm at dusk
:
:
:
at the bookstore
we pretend we don’t
know each other
:
:
:
yellow dawn waking
up to the taste of
vomit on your lips
:
:
:
a bit of your breast
as you lean over for
a piece of cold pizza
:
:
:
where someone walked
the grass has lost its blue
sheen of dew
:
:
:
at dusk the heat
inside the house pushes
the door open a little
:
:
:
your panties soaking
in the sink today
the crocus bloomed
:
:
:
the bank teller tells
me there’s a ring
around the moon
:
:
:
she’s taking a long
shower I add up
the receipts
:
:
:
empty nut shells blown
by a warm wind a rag
that smells of gasoline
:
:
:
waves of heat rise
from a tin roof a balloon
in the distance
:
:
:
a few grains of sugar
at the edge of the fire
slowly smoking
:
:
:
a woman in white
furry boots I drop a handful
of screws
:
:
:
at the end of January
we see the sun your results
off the chart
:
:
:
after our fight
we both wind up at
the pineapples
