Untitled
I was not strong enough to raise us up when the water from the swamps rose and took control of everything we planted. The porch ran away, its pine boards warping in the sun and the rain barrels burst their guts throughout the garden.   Damage is a point of view you said, picking through the clothes and boxes stranded in the hallway. Who left Arthur's teddy bear to die this way and why did you never throw these books out like I asked you to?   We found the kitchen flooded - food and dishes spilling out their contents, and the white tablecloth floating like the ghost of dinner's past. And in the bedroom rugs sprouted shoes and socks, magazines and records growing in the sheets and quilts while the walls shuddered and wept salt tears.   A life is all you have - it's all you know you said   as you handed me a mop   and opened up the windows.
