suffocate
the knowledge
my dog goes out
barking to my nobody
there
I stand
still one hand drying
on a cloth I hear
the night
pinging back the dark
in me
small rain
cold on my arms
see
I point out the cat think
maybe the bogongs
coming north a
little soon
this year
turn and go
next door’s dog
barks
and there’s
me
a monkey
on the porch
alone
Marvelous, Kerri!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the psychic and visual spaces, places evoked here.
