You Can Know My Position
Ouija buttons
her red cashmere cardigan.
She waits for a train.
A small black suitcase
stands beside her.
The suitcase isn’t hers.
Karma places C-4 charges
around a shopping mall.
The moon’s not out.
Her heart is full.
Utopia chain-smokes
outside a bus station.
Her heart’s been broken once too often.
The Voices in the wind
they’re singing to her.
