Silence was falling with the snow,

The pacific islanders were posting signs
for dinner, and for lunch

Their children were writing songs-

‘A hippo’s hips are wide,
but a swallow’s swallow is soft.’

I think I stuck that q-tip in a bit too far,

No earwax on the end of it,

Just the memory of my grandmother's face,

and my first day of Kindergarten

Breasts and Ghosts
M Murray Mar 2011
Two boys huddled on a playground:*

One Said:
'I've seen one.
This time when I was a kid,
My cousin was changing in our guest room
I peaked in through a crack in the door
And it was right there reflected in the mirror'

Said the other:*
'Well, in the attic at my
grandfather's house
There is this old black and white photo
Of this big party with lots of people
In the background, and off to the side
The photographer caught one,
But you can only half see it
Peaking behind this woman's dress.'

I am glad
that you are always around
because if you weren't

I would want to be

Drunk.
Reading poems.

An elderly couple
slips behind some bookshelves
and start to kiss.
