When the cat glides in

from the rain and rubs

against my leg

I reach down to stroke
<br>
<br>
her fur; it adheres
<br>
in twisted strands
<br>
to my skin, which I wipe

on a dish-towel
<br>
<br>
for you to find

when you are drying

plates and cups

from dinner and you yell

			<description><![CDATA[ Poems unwritten since recovering you

<br>
Remember to wear a wide-brimmed hat.
<br>
Our church family knows absentia&#39;s
<br>
flowered wilderness. Beyond twilight&#39;s
<br>
skulking pigeon. Your musts echo.
<br>
Trying on the fats. An embrace
<br>
<br>
embrocated. Yellow tomatoes tremble. A
<br>
flush gust flurries. The swollen licorice
<br>
whips. Mores the pills swallowed. Solicitous
<br>
as auld crass. Runs in my empathy. Dour
<br>
perpendicular self. Teas fresh morals.

<br>
<br>
where are my pines?
<br>
give me their silence
<br>
only the dirt has settled across my eyes
<br>
<br>
do you own my memory?
<br>
is it on a quiet mountain
<br>
sloped with teeth and yarn?
<br>
<br>
meet me at resting lilacs
<br>
the air here is no longer sweet
<br>
like soft June in her hair
<br>
<br>
who are you lost stranger
<br>
with miles in your face
<br>... ]]></description>
