The day of
her affair
And Poldy
-in love-
allowing it
A father invites a son
into the kitchen,
talking before
he walks
him
out
Reentering
the house at night
filled with evidence
of Boylan
Crumbs brushed
off the bed
-ten years
since-
Feet at the head
and head at the
foot, a behind
kiss to Gea-tellus
Earth mother
