like a tattoo (temporary)


i won't wash you
from me today
or replace disguise you
with broken flowers & chemicals
i'll watch the street
for an hour
watch doors open close
watch small branches
lift
as birds fly to the roof
i'll watch patterned feet
& saris gather dirt
& listen to syllables
from a kitchen
i'll see the colours of bricks
& painted wood
i'll watch the dog
with 3 legs
breathe in the yard
i'll watch taxis
& stare at the place
where the tree was
& when lights are visible
across the park
Female face
