january 25th, 2012 - “afghan.”
it was difficult
to see that afghan for the first time
hanging in a window
after only existing in photographs,
to keep the shade in
or, drenched in memories
to burn up in the sun;
to evaporate what’s left of her
in wrinkles,
a stain,
just out of reach for cat claws,
and the downstairs neighbors.
