fog like whiteness giving over to nothing
only scarves and neckties are flowering
only scarves and neckties are flowering
I play a matchbox and then a jukebox
sitting here quietly with my knife
I cut a path of spirals through smiles
of my own motherhood brimming
only to hide under frosty glares
as though the sky is burning
isn't it strange how we define words
with more words and... gesturing
how even the ruins of a day
can be filled with people

Yes, that kind of companionship is so important...
Friend! It has been a summer of keeping secrets, and it felt good to share.
