Cloud Covers

Suppose to love
In time over dinner
Conversation turning
Rotisserie of phrase

Truth
Fixing the corners of retelling
Childhood drug
Family shy, what version this
For new friend, my past

Her island adventures,
Chicago Easter,
Writing names of movies
On a bar napkin

Questions
What about that husband with the beanie
And baggy pants
The sailor after 28 days
Still walking planks
My bloodshot eyes

Fighting
Crying
A burp in time
The life of lives
Written about till
Monday stops singing



while listening to Monday Michiru,
