Dennis

Taking out the wildlife leaves the picture
undaunting.

Helplessly, little creatures let themselves
blister

within the packaging. A pliant green Styrofoam
wash

scratched with seagulls fills every quadrant,
every caesura.

Melanie and Andrea primping their skirts
on the floor

quibble through the separators. Today was
a great aunt

Sunday. A lavender water morning. A eucalypt
dilly dally.

A tiger insincerity embossing a pastel lozenge
quickly.

And both of them sense how deliciously hopeless
a run

across the road to meet Dennis is. At least
he's left

with lanes and spatula-strokes and stretched
hands.
