Friday
but not my town, a hawk flies &
wings in the air make trilling sound
imagined, as
the screech above and
outside my door puts the hair
to raise up on my arms.
I am thinking of you again,
not for nothing but
need for magic. And men.
My mother, I finally
told her to go. It had been
a management of tasks,
a bee swarm of honey &
skin made red, trying
to avoid the sting. It is
confusing the say of stay
the need, help, the help that
happens best from standing
still. This happens alone.
In the greenery outside my door
where hawk trills &
I rescued lizard
and spider, but she
lost a leg. It is new moon
again, I here your laughing
music play the distance
between us like theater
sounds at curtain call. I want
more than this,
I always did.
