to open the
lid
wait
for that

there is a
live plant
in the house
now
this presence
ominous
in pot
near window
prone
to waiting
it stirs
something
manifest
in me
this propensity
toward the
death of
things
so
sacrosanct

the blue sharks

live up to their

promise to

taste

blue

i eat them

one by one

from a noisy

cellophane

packet

my right hand

moving

any number of
natural bar
soap would
do
freshly baked
bread
of a morning
something
steeped with
milk and honey
o a t s
normal
like
one ripe
Minneola

i have spent
most of today
looking up
recipes for
laundry soap
these aren't
the final plans
for a
life lived
possibly
in progress

i don't have a lot
to say anymore
if i did
i'd probably have
to figure out
a whole new
way
of saying
it

in my head
there are four
elephants
or five
in your head
any number
wouldn't make
sense

i am going to open a patisserie

when i was in love with you
i had lost my mind
so it didn't count

nope

teddy roosevelt's wife died
on the same Valentine's Day in 1884
as his mother
And when my heart’s dearest died,
he wrote in his diary
the light went from my life forever.
