Clean Dishes



2 "What could mean more than this"
The house is empty, waiting up the street
So am I

Skinny kitten crying,
Baby, all ribs
Like you

There you are inside your car,
outside, insides wound like the vacuum cord
I guess we walked back

Brain commands body
thank god because
Reflexes are warm cherry jello

Putting the clean dishes away
"Exercise Me!"
up the stairs

It's Yellow, sunny, red
You're warm, and quiet on the bed
Laughing at me, biting

Sugary candy sweet


Falls into place?

1 "I do what I do and at least I exist"
Weeks later
There are more of you.

Passenger seat, smoky, muggy
I just want to know How can I ask when I don't know
Upside down, shoes off

Moving slowly, thinking slowly, brain commands body
Next to you, falls into place
Legs upon legs upon legs

But I just want to know How can I ask when I don't know
Too dark, too lazy
too slowly, so muddled

Yet still so sweet

Cringing, I want just one
But there are more
I just want to know How can I ask when I don't know

Fell out of place?
