1.
Asleep or After
a man -or maybe
a boy-
I've forgotten
lies, body curved into the
layers of blankets
upon his back:
hair and freckles that crosses
and combines
and form images
of filament fishes
(silver ones?)
2.
Out
standing (outside)
with a rare river's winds blowing your
hair
-or at least shifting it to the left-
and your lids half-closed
sleep-starved slivers
and shoeless, feet
bared
opened
and touched,
lolling out, a tongue for the ground
and a scratch on your hand
and a catch of my bare
(you are walking)
3.
Some Tea
I see
Women and
sometimes
Men they seem to
Be with
Unwrapping
necks, strip
tease
(I
barely
know
why) Heads
bobbing like
barely adolescent
birds
With half
eaten politics
and barely
sipped
Tea and
mouths full
of "I don't
know"'s and
"I'll do it
later"'s
and optimistic
miniatures
with smiles
archaic

You poured milk into my cup.
I do not know how to describe the moment when you poured milk into my cup.
