The Unequivocal PrivateBefore the medicine cabinetthe halo of your eyes stare back at you, the weight of the silk kimono, of hand colored flowers. Time is divided, in the way that what you have done is often better than what you are doing. Places remembered as warmer, cooler, cleaner, friendlier and there you were shining with no loss, time extended before you with certainty. Later in the kitchen, chile lights plugged in over the sink, your tongue up and down on a knife that has spread honey because it is what was, your body opened with its seeds. Unwavering in the glow cast from red-lit walls, time extends before you with certain clarity. |
