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
