and tried to figure out what she had been eating lately by studying the containers and
peelings and stuff. I couldn't tell a thing.
It was now March. The water started to boil. I was pleased by this.
I looked at the table. There was the jar of instant coffee, the empty cup and the spoon
all laid out like a funeral service. These are the things that you need to make a cup of
coffee.
When I left the house ten minutes later, the cup of coffee saf...Read more of this...

...en of a threadlike clothes-line.

the water-wagon comes
throwing its hissing, snowy fan across
peelings and newspapers. The water dries

I hear the day-springs of the morning strike
from stony walls and halls and iron beds,
scattered or grouped cascades,
