Over the Desk

a comely pile of foam
at the top of my stairs
that has come
to cover me
what can’t it explain
the knot at the base
of my back
no it can explain that
the movie of a
magnolia
the letter about
mudslides
it can only start
to slither down
the kiss
we traded
over the
desk
you said I was
being generous
in kissing you
no it can explain that
