go back


go back
            to fix
what’s to come

            her turn
to collect
the ashes

as I sink
            under-
            water

the whole house
is having
            trouble
            breathing

and the rain
falls and clogs
            the air
            outside

            outside
on a hook
in the yard
is hanging
the mobile
she was asked
            to build
            so long
            ago

she made it
in minutes
this morning

            our lungs
still labor
            in this
            weather.
