This house is a glass, a glass of wine, spilling down.
Such a waste, bottle found. Pour it out, pour it out.

The patchwork of receding years is sewn
into the drunken weekend's winter coat,
while we lay sleeping, mattress on the floor,
under lullabies of alarm clock radios.

But we will stay until you go.
When you are done, just let us know.

This house is a bag of coins I've spent on payphone calls.
Six months moving south, a snowflake bruise, a bleeding mouth.

And this is what you won't understand--
how broken glass turns into sand,
how emptiness is only pain
when we cup our hands to keep it contained.

But I will stay just so I know,
to get a taste, then let it go.
