dummy

Nothing but the rain

No there is no landing but I can see you
How you can move you
Come, you come down the stairs
And you walk in

And Roommate #1 comes in, with a bag

And there are some groceries
By the stove

And You put the stuff up
that she bought

Together several cans of
Soup fresh fruit and
Bread possibly…

(Mixed in with conversation
About the day
Your day how was it was it good
Tomorrow we’ll have soup
can we get a dog)

Then you make a hasty dinner
It’s late

Something for two people
sandwiches
Ham tomato

The door is open and I can hear you both laugh

*

The library has a ladder
Into the tops of books
  You go

  when you disappear
Where do you go

  upstairs

(Into the shower) or where
There is another room
I guess

  all the interior lights up

I see you hold your head

Now at a fireplace
the color of arms

No hat or a shirt

What are you doing there where are you
In the ironing sheer
Late in the sheer
And it’s Late it’s late and

Less of the things are coming true

The lights are knocked off
In the window
And I don’t know
  where you are

*

—–

That afternoon that you called
What was I listening to
Basically no one
You forget

Stone hearts are like that no one likes them
An obscure band

No but I was Listening to movies in the background

I was at my window

And you were singing

*

I just wanted you to go on upstairs
And turn on the light
