workloadA Poem by sea lily
i came back to my body,
still impervious numb and wanting. claire's face became real and my arms suddenly heavy with trays and cups and sodden napkins. sugar remnants scattered around the plates. turn back the clock to thirty-six hours ago, when solemnly you pursed your lips at i sketching carefully with reddened, callused hands (mishandling the milk-frother, or else a seemingly innocent dish) observation, well observe the coffee grinds that nestle beneath round, creamy fingernails. cut to the quick. © 2009 sea lily |
