The Wall Hanging I Never Noticed
I never noticed before
How the red flowers hang from the blue branches
I never noticed before the light in this room
I never noticed the way the air is cool again
I never noticed anything but you
But you but you
So that I couldn’t sleep
I never noticed what was anything but you
Until I noticed you
And could not help it
Until I noticed you I could not help it
Until you made the red flowers alive again
Until the blue branches
The lemons you loved, but also the way you loved me, too
Until all of this I never noticed you
But once I did

The Miscarriage
The doctor says it’s an empty room in there
And it is
A pale sack with no visitors
I have made it and surrounded it with my skin
To invite the baby in
But he did not enter
And dissolved himself into the sea so many moons ago
