blank save for the handprint
above the desk where some soul
lost their grip and left themselves.
soap so coarse it punctured skin
while water sprinkled out
to cause an incident.
down in the drain clogged
with hair where some soul yanked
itself so hard it forgot some strands.
a bald apparition with a broken tailbone
painted red and glazed like clay
locked in a furnace when it hoped,
from the covers before the alarm,
to float away...
