GLAZING
you sing as you wash windows –
I climb on the chesterfield
so we can kiss
through glass

THINGS FORGOTTEN
in my top desk drawer:
expired passport stamped for Mexico and France
cracked wooden alto recorder
five dried up fabric paints
a blank 90-minute tape
unused cutter-set for block printing
1945 autograph album full of scribbles
six empty film cassettes
metal twist puzzle
and eight unpaid bills
