Typhlobasia
The sobbing came from the bathroom,
where she sat naked under the shower head,
ripped clumps of soft water-soaked
pages from the last book she'd read.
It was paper mache woven along black museful
fibers, and, in the morning, I'd wake her
from torpid dreams of waves crashing overhead.
it's all in good fun, I'd say
spitting in her goggles, and dragging sieves
from the bottom of the bay
With closed eyes and an open mouth,
I'll dredge this river,
if not for you then for me.
It's been rotting post carnival,
as far as the eye can see
