Laura Linney and Spaghetti
Eating here at midnight
From translucent Tupperware
While the others sleep
Soundly in cobalt bedrooms
The screen blares out this image
And lulls my Ivory body
I see her face
So familiar, one I’ve seen
Countless times
The woman who spreads the message
This woman in all of us
Outside the pigeons coo
They huddle from the wind
And ever so often “splat”
They excrete their white paste
On the garage concrete
It’s late, so late
For this thrill at present
The floral fragrance of my beauty serum
Cold, pink like a peony
Thick from the Amana
Applying it formed
My eyebrows into
Two moistened crescents
Laura Linney and Spaghetti
A reflection of the obscure
Yet oddly understandable
Time of stars and moon and
Cat cries when
All gets
Ingested.
