the way they laugh
up and down their blue sides
and down in the water
the fish cry
and the water
is their tears.

I hear it in my clock
it becomes knobs upon my dresser
it becomes paper on the floor
it becomes a shoehorn
a laundry ticket
it becomes
cigarette smoke
climbing a chapel of dark vines. . .

very little love is not so bad
or very little life
what counts
is waiting on walls
