WHEN ——– I want////to go
they faded, the polaroids of the beach that day
you, the [ ] housewife
who never liked to cook
the cracks–gaps–your face–un-famil-y
the way the breath
just
stopped.
dulling varnish
the lacquered box black
cabinets bare
looked back
holding on———-the pain
open rusted clasps
curl yourself inside its walls.
