Tap shoe
a lost bag on a porch step
a lie somebody told & stuck to.
After all this time
a bundle of questions
like an old coffee can full of bent nails.
You aren’t saying what you think
you’re saying. Maybe you’re not saying
much at all. And the pine sways
and she stays anyway.
You aren’t undressing this doll.
Love the image of an old coffee can with bent nails. So reminds me of my father.
