Lines
Simian crease, sugar-stirring
spoon, Bob's suspenders, electric
circuit loop. Cocaine, a cat's
tail, steel rails running on
wooden ties. The point
spread, kohl powder
penciled around bloodshot
eyes, getting from point A to
point B. Kenneth's untied
shoelaces, the 50-yard
line on a football field,
grocery lists, the end of
a marathon, walls, a picture
frame painted gold. Song and
dance, the pink satin ribbons in
Kate's hair. Postcards from a
childhood pen pal, a filmstrip, the
string attached to a tea bag, the tone arm of
a phonograph, The stem of a late summer
sunflower, veins returning impure blood back to
the heart, a fading face drawn in the after-
shower fog on a bathroom mirror.
