Lit as a chandelier, you go living
room to living room. There's no
easy way to say evening
in the half-dark.
You press your face to the window.
You turn into string.
Hours move like fish
in the room & you hold yourself
face & lips to the evening.
I watch pigs
do simple things outside
& you hair & fingers
laced like straw
touches of mud on your throat.
