the steaming water licks the shower liner again
merging mildew and plastic bleeding sunlight
through the window will only dry a little and the rest will
continue to grow who will water the plants
when I skip town dehydration the alcoholic's home
and sunlight won’t be what they lack singeing chlorophyll
a neglected Tabby bury the fur in the ground
where the maggots digest rot fill him up
close the holes taxidermy erases the solitude that leads to this
smudge the house facing east seal the attic door
pick up the newspapers plant the Foxgloves in March
collect dust bunnies and dishes see no other visitors
mail the postcard with geographical coordinates burn the poems
and let the flames graze you if it is warmth you lack
