Starlings, for Patti Hillman

I never saw her
when she was sick

but I imagine her
fully dressed, standing
in the hall
holding the disease
black
in her hand,
as if to say
Look what I found, Kyle.
Cancer.

We stare at it for a moment,
the two of us

and she swallows it
whole
because we both know
she has to

her body bloats
bursts
breaks apart
becomes a thousand
black starlings, winging

Infidelities

Knock at the door means pizza is here,
and for once the delivery boy is cute.

I consider slipping my wedding ring into my left pocket before
reaching towards him




It was only a quick look at the bottom of the stairwell.
His fly unzipped,
our breath loud in the cement corridor




I rode three extra stops just to see if he would bring me home
but I don't think he noticed.

By the time I walked back to our place
you had dinner made.

I just heard this song for the first time last night. Originally by John Prine, the lyrics are amazing and beautiful. Heartbreaking.
