empty shoes
on my doorstep
i try them on
and my brother
and my friend
Patience
i let her keep them
silk gloves
hidden in the backyard
by the garden
under mother's carnations
sister's never seen them
Patience
loves them
holding cool cocktails
in jet black hands
empty clothes
by my bedside
shoes overturned
silk gloves inverted
and
Patience by the door
