draft

filing eraser rubbings by breakfast
(rubbing)
our faces are of course
pointed down a hall
where dogs
in small photos are
(rubbing)
where their sticklimbs are
half-framed
the wallpaper
redacts a bit, all
off color,
the abatement cell
free now / out of joint
turns
closes a ring

that was the tide going out

there's room now
for this gnawing hunch
that your man
is re-furnishing the Hystory
of the kitchen/dining room via
a deep cull, loose metal
slammed a stick into the
closing door of
the freight elevator so
we wouldn't have to wait
even if we did have to be there
