AFTERNOON SHAFT
The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:35pm
After making love with My Husband
After making a macaroni casserole
I sit in A Shaft Of Light
on The Tomato-coloured Couch
I flip through a Gucci catalogue
& listen to 90’s on 9
abandoning DHW
at least for now
–
He gave Me That Number
10:22
October 22, 1993
I have built a construct of living
around That Number, That Date
–
A Housefly flies into The Shaft
glinting like A Firefly
