transitions...

a single lamp and mattress
improvise the floor
one house plant with purple leaves
claims the highest spot
mockingly,
hung at the window.
most things,
are curiously stacked--
frisbee discs,
records,
books....

Willy Mays stretches
her back legs against my thigh
prompting me to
UNstack a record--

Symphonic Slam

Hello?
He is at the bottom of the stairs
I walk away from
the modest room
in which we live.
