a tired hand shuffles through papers
the room is in shadow

“I could never explain events to her afterwards”

pearls sheets water off ithaca
paintings phones children’s pictures
scratched out lineages wigs perfume

plants sound with wind through leaves
a cat perches on a ledge watching

“It took years for her to disintegrate”

he remembers watching the fishers
in the port of nauplion haul in a day’s work.

silence tv shows blue-haired companion falling

a pen rests in a drawer
under light from a broken lamp

“I planned but never understood how it would feel”

candy jars memories spatulas
colors dreams
