Ruth Holzer – USA (PJ32)

the cardiologist
points the way
with a golf club

Get Down On It —
rap music
in the turnpike toilets

gardening
in tight yoga pants
furrows

Kicked to the curb
Kicked to the back of the bus
Kicked into high gear

all these unwatched pots
finally
boiling over

wallpaper layers
stripped back to the rosebud pink
of their first night

coming home
the veins grown dark
on old hands
