talking over a recipe
nodding
                    granted
          relief from guilt
a cage wherein you
often hide yourself
an insipid hindsight
          chef's choice
          restart
you and father and I
watched the lightning
storm across the lake
          he wondered which
          direction it was moving
          towards the mountains
                    I say

you agree to seek 
professional help

          and long second the
sky shifted shape
colors into end                    of day
we kept finding new
places to view it until
as with desperate breath
          it was gone

I can't remember           what
                    works
painted toys
          fetching
I blister easily in
          new shoes
additives with own name
personal pelvis          I
have something

honeymoon.
