"Terry"

by paloma

 

 

I've seen his face,

flat  as a beggar's plate.

Each morning

he stands at the corner,

for a handout.

 The sing-song yellow of

a woman's laugh,

someone he once knew.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Gillian"

Pouring maple syrup out of the

bottle this morning,

he remembers.

Her hair poured over her

breasts,

as he knelt behind her

kissing the roundness at the

top of her neck.
