•

still enough

to hear

the crow’s wing

•

•

•

the cat’s white

feet through

the corrugated plastic

•

•

•

pushing grains of salt

up from the gap in

the table an ant

•

•

•

she says

you reek of

superstitions

•

•

•

the chips

from the blue plate

have reached the sea

•

•

•

fly on the desk

looks like the one

at home

•

•

•

first signs

you’re a

conifer

•

•

•

in the shower

I smell like

the soup you made

•

•

•

I waited

thirty years

to use that word

•

•

•

one of your

eyes likes

me better
