I Have Answers
But the questions remain.
A little pepper, some salt,
butter. Our rosemary needs pruning
and the music’s too loud
to hear. The lizard basks in sunlight
eight minutes old, but I forget to ask
what else we need. Or want. Just this,
she says. Red, like your favorite sky,
the in-between, the misplaced one.

Haunting, in both forms….

Reblogged this on On My Feet and commented:
I love the fragmented-specificity of this poem. At once intimate and mysterious.
And beautiful.
