SCORE (THIRD MARRIAGE)
After she’s laid her husband
to bed mother
lays a trail of cigarettes
end to end
across the kitchen
floor smoking
her way from one dark
corner of the room
to the other the rings
glowing on her finger
when she reaches
the plate
she bought herself last
summer the one
of the cow whose
black spots form a map
of the world she
licks the surface
her eyes are isinglass
and she falls
asleep standing up
