about

Based on a poem originally published in Room Magazine roommagazine.com/issues/our-rubble-our-loss

lyrics

The couch cushions bore water marks,
spreading downward from where you lay your hair,
wet, after we walked back from the downtown rain that time.

My toes find the underside of my couch’s body.
I rub them along the erratic teeth
of staples that someone lovingly

tapped in, one layer over another.
It probably took years of some upholsterer
designing crosshatches, dashes, positive signs

only to catch in the frayed translucent apron,
ripping open the spaces between us

(the old wood
slats and sealing them up again, the spent shards
of material falling soundlessly, as if a kitten was somehow involved.)
