I could just write all day
the gibberish that she says
the cancer and garbled tones and
where the kids are
the hums and melodies are convivial
mostly nonsensical.
I no longer have a microwave
it was smashed and pleaded and left out in
frost and dust
houses all rowed up like something
very ordinary
wondering, automatically
what to do next
and all the circles that whirl through
and the pleading of ideas to
show through
hands.
So let's get a show of those
weathered fingers dressed with
sterile words
so the bite doesn't kill them.
Brains are just dull medium
sized according to what we've fed
them
and somewhere in a house crowded on a street
piled with dust and frost
and broken microwaves
are the abbreviations
for
loss.
