| the slant |
| a building settling around me my figure, female, framed crookedly |
| in the threshold of the room |
| door scraping floorboards |
| with every opening |
| carving a rough history of bedroom scenes |
| the plot hard to follow |
| the text obscured |
| in the fields of sheets |
| slowly gathering the stains |
| of seasons spent lying there |
| red and brown |
| like leaves fallen |
| the colors of an eternal cycle |
| fading with the wash cycle |
| and the rinse cycle |
| again an unfamiliar smell |
| like my name misspelled |
| or misspoken |
| a cycle broken |
| the sound of them strong |
| stalking talking about their prey |
| like the way hammer meets nail |
| pounding, they say |
| pounding out the rhythms of attraction |
| like a woman was a drum like a body was a weapon |
| like there was something more they wanted |
| than the journey |
| like it was owed to them |
| steel toed they walk |
| and i’m wondering why this fear of men |
| maybe it’s because i’m hungry |
| and like a baby i’m dependent on them to feed me i am a work in progress |
| dressed in the fabric of a world unfolding |
| offering me intricte patterns of questions |
| rhythms that never come clean |
| and strengths that you still haven’t seen |
| I’m calling from the diner |
| the diner on the corner |
| I ordered two coffees |
| one is for you |
| I was hoping you’d join me |
| 'cause I ain’t go no money |
| and I really miss you |
| I should mention that too |
| yes I know what time it is in fact, I just checked |
| I even know the date |
| and the month |
| and the year |
| I know I haven’t been sleeping |
| and when I do |
| I just dream of you |
| dear |
| I miss watching you |
| drool on your pillow |
| I miss watching you |
| pull on your clothes |
| I miss listening |
| to you in the bathroom |
| flushing the toilet |
| blowing your nose |
| I’m calling from the diner |
| the diner on the corner |
| I ordered two coffees |
| one is for you |
| the cups are so close |
| the steam is rising |
| in one stream |
| how are you |
| I think you’re the least fucked up person I’ve ever met |
| and that may be as close to the real thing |
| as I’m ever gonna get |
| but my quarter’s gonna run out now |
| or so I’m told |
| I guess I’d better go sit down |
| and wait for you |
| til my coffee gets cold |
