When the curtain falls in love
the characters begin to speak
through tremors of syllables
pressed from the keys
of a cherry black piano.
The rhythmic clicks
like a crafted bird
tapping, chopping
building from
mechanical noise.
Hands passing, paceless
still precise, arriving as words
everything clicks, clacks together
rippling through the sheets, to tell –
that was already there.

Ripened in breath,
lingering in sentences
never said—
but arrived anyway
swallowed words,
inhaled echoes,
rippling through
the chest
truth lights up
in the lungs
for lack of air—
what we can’t say
otherwise.

Syllables curl;
silk sheens
the crescent spoon
drips into black—
straight cut—
6 a.m.
Half-awake: a hex—
night grows legs,
circles the room;
gravity follows
with a broom.
I wake again—
morning amber
yawns across the table
toward an empty cup.
Eyes in the corner—
the kitchen tiger,
pocket-black,
worrying the broom—
a hiss.
Then a leap:
swipes the air
lands on my chest;
swift fur coils my wrist,
heavy with purrs—
a clinging bracelet.
Not what I miss.
It’s the habit—
heat in the hand,
steam on the lip;
the slurp—
turns into reverie.
Mourning sips—
felt at the pulse;
the ceremony spills—
ticks in the bone,
cold to the marrow.
