Automatic.
A matrix of power lines graced the skin.
Gave up the heat put in the ground.
Tattooed a number on the back because
it means -
Decorated the house again -
it’s automatic.
A life in the suburbs owned for the kids
always gone.
Put up the drapes, dark velvet for the day
never seen.
Went to the mountain to ask for safety.
