Still listening from lips, 
a mute hearing with hands, 
an improper metaphor. 

…………………………………… 

In the frozen lake of eyes 
a fish dies 
in unread tears. 

…………………………………. 

An upended 
home of laments 
in moon. 

…………………………………. 

Imperfect proximity 
of pillows. 
sleep was distance apart. 

…………………………….. 

Like poison ivy 
a gnawing to itch 
and an itch to gnaw.
