i pour ginger ale into a glass
a glass with white rims and streaks
from milk I swallowed
to take the aspirin
i sit in the carport, staring at the cement duck
i threw through his basement window
when i was locked out
and he was in Italy
there is a crack along her neck
where her statue head broke off
but we glued her
back together again
sitting at the table
with pumpkin seeds and
and
stringy insides
glowglowglow
a-glow
trading chains
trading chess pieces
Sally Mann is our arbitrator
the Flavor of Love is our mixing
Em Tee Vee lost him in translation
what will you see and remember today?
a single magnolia bloom left for the frost to brown
a screwdriver with strange initials drawn on the handle
nothing more than fog
nothing less than exquisite
What will you erase today?
a waist size? an extra letter you wrote on the job application whenyou were busy thinking about a triste not so memorable?
ashes too early to make sense.
pink stonehenge and fox games.
