Wednesday Poem

Obligation #25 (Transaction)

I cross my legs -I- brush
my clavicle / I pitch my
laugh – I laugh – I look
away / I smile – I lock my
weight in my right

hip – I pop tongue – I smear lip
gloss – I slip / on heels – I eat when I
can – I am not / always fixed – I am
Trying always new

movements – I move to a
city that swells / in a river
valley – I still see crows / I loved
a man who was made of more

want than reliability
– I love him – I undress myself
for weather / wilding its
way through the trees – I pull

cards now too – I can see there
from here – do I mention economy
at this point? I cost I want & it costs
to want this.
