Security at Auction



The mirror I left on the floor filled with apricots
was careless. But careless is something I’ve been

And when we threw him out he clanged
like an old chandelier.  A great smoker
reduced to ashes.  Outside two swans
clear their long throats.  It is remarkably
short and over like the first time making love.
Now I m writing this letter from a field of aster
And the stems are understandably long.
