turn the lever off

I’ve used up

remember at her cousin’s
graduation when her father
got so pissed
he pissed himself
said he was in it
together with us
sipping a cocktail
with a cocktail napkin
on his cock

little lightness
where do we begin
hitting the light
to change the sheets
something lighter
not to show anything strange

times like these
her sadness into moss
something so soft
enough to sleep on
then laundry line
unsatisfying enough

on the hardwood floor
painting him a picture
of all the things
she recalled
saying he didn’t call
enough
it was unsatisfactory
a mill town
for them to mill around
a treasure
a treetop blocking the sun

only snow
yellow from piss
broken down
a broken loan

the neighbor is as
empty as we are
