I watch you

in the bath while

I check on the cat

•

•

•

mid January

mouse droppings

taper off

•

•

•

the silver rim

of the plate

interrupted by chips

•

•

•

blue grass

beneath

barren branches

•

•

•

bookmark

where someone

else gave up

•

•

•

between the total

and the change

mischief

•

•

•

winter rose

smooth and

thick

•

•

•

2pm

sunlight for

sick people

•

•

•

you can’t call them

that the strays

were here first

•

•

•

January

once silent

and still

•
