one for each deep voice
one for every remark, snide, in passing
one for each neck craned, speaking down
the furnace is fed.
one for each space taken up
one for every conversation commandeered
one for each "sure about that?"
"yes."
a round in the chamber
one for each man unaccustomed
to solid-footed women
armed with nothing less than
surety.
