Other № 1377
South Brooklyn Avenue
The street is wet on an afternoon
covered in rain & growing into an evening
of hows of hours, the getting here and there.
If I told you I had a blueprint of the inside
of your body, would you still turn your shoulder
to the wind as if it could reach inside
the dark cavity of your chest and whistle,
hoot hollow like an owl? I notice
you do this too when the days are calm,
when nothing would fly through
the curled hair growing from your head.
