The Pain of You
(From Barzilla and Other Psalms)

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

A leftover bowl of broccoli soup in the refrigerator

A copy of The Handmaid’s Tale

A figurine

A photograph of our weekend in Baja

A coffee cup that says, “World’s Greatest Sister.”

A wrench (in my gut)

A poem you wrote about how much I suck

A video store late fee. . .

Are all that’s left of you
The remnants of you.
The income tax of you.
The litter box of you.

Yesterday
I fished out
the sludge
from the shower drain
just to get a lock of your hair.
