F.
Mary stole my sweater
the holey sweater with the
Delicate stars
I still remember it
Being softly touched
By her fingers
And I told her
This
You are touching it too softly
As I regularly said my thoughts
And she was my regular person
she still looked at me
Bewildered
Red and wild
Her cheeks became possums
Luring
Roses
ingots
Because she glittered
Like a carrot in the mud
and I
Well just I
But
She
The careful thing
would always not take
What I give
Myself
As her big blue eyes
Became pout
And wet
And clumsy
With the tears
That I have not made peace
With
She broke them
Allowingly
As I consoled her
Without thought
Without meaning
As the sweater became a flesh
That got swept away
from my hold
To her hands
That were open.
