I tried to throw it out along with the bubbles, the yellow duck, and the knickers the dog crudely chewed
pushed it amongst silled plants, now it stands, between Thick Cut Marmalade and Chlorine Free Baking Cups a token, painted green with white Maori dots, symbolizing the small dreamings of a tortoise
and since this house is my body, see how I have placed you in the kitchen
and I cannot get beyond, the simple meaning, of daily needing love like water, air
and how I don't seek to see it fully yet often find myself checking if its there.
