october
a crabapple yellow balloon
floats in a dark sky
the phone a boulder
in my hands

soon it will be warm again
bluebirds singing blissfully
a peace we took for granted
what is that even
we forgot to take notes

another check
of my email and linkedin
empty blue sky
today red tips
the maple leaves

all over the floor
our vomit
drowned by the sitcom
i wander from room to room
an old lame mouse

Hand me down that tool,
Let me have a #crack instead.
Watch me make a mark;
Step aside and let me try,
𝘐'𝘭𝘭 show you how it's done.

soon i'll drink
the last of your coffee
air con thrumming—
the musty smell
trapped in the carpet

you declare me
wanting a heart
bound in baling wire
i clear the last of the roots
and tamp down the dirt

fridge magnets
decade-old pictures
your love note
my fingers
tacky with glue

a nocturne
unwound and tinny
fulvous music sheets
i stand en pointe
to your unrelenting stare

rain smell
and exhaust
this overcast pre-dawn
my phone
bathes me

in the pool
before dawn
my arms sluice the water
each stroke drags
the lead of you

mccartney sings blackbird
while i do laps
missed split time
i’m now near the age
my mother died of cancer

cider mills
donuts and hayrides
divorce decree stamped
when you were seven months old
you slept in your swing

your to-do list
undimming
on the iphone
the garage an oven
i sweep the shaving from the floor

chopping the roots
of the tree that couldn’t grow
approaching whine
the white suv wavers
in the afternoon heat

i’m awake at dawn
stumbling to feed the dogs
the office chair
hunched over the keyboard
the cushion threadbare

inside the locked
desk drawer, under paper clips
the ledger
you tell me the key is gone
and talk about vacations

the sunflowers wilt
in metal horse troughs
i tilt the watering can
high in the eaves
wasps have built a nest

they play hacky sack
at city park
in the near dark
my hand keeps writing
at the metal picnic table

the interview over
my hands still talking
my face on the screen
why won’t my mouth
stop spitting words?

how evil such things play out
you and me talking jailbreaks
the danger of making things
that make things
then you point and say "Look at the moon!"
