Poetry
As the young, slight, male manicuristdeftly massages my hand, we turn our headsin opposite directions as if such pleasurebetween strangers were unseemly in light
Please be advised that snow globes are not allowed through the security check point. —LaGuardia Airport sign
at nightmy mother bathed me in a white tubscrubbed me with white soaprubbed me in a white towelhugged and plugged meinto pajamas and the white sheets
The children are back, the children are back—
They’ve come to take refuge, exhale and unpack;
The marriage has faltered, the job has gone bad,
Drop my children off at another parent’s house
To free up time to drive aimlessly, listening to
FM radio, waiting for a song that I feel deeply
Anyone who has ever kept a secretKnows that letters cannot be burned in a bundle
