Self-Portrait after Lisa Jarnot
one boy’s small hand
the absence of snow
an inherent grammar
a light outside the window
illuminating our place in this world
of swimming pools and their vastness
all of the birds in new jersey
a mother who is good with numbers
a father who is good with poetry
this crooked body this
misunderstanding of our common language
boys who made me lose the blues
and then my eyesight
the ocean and its variations
a lovely husband
an argument over sex over juice boxes
over division of labor over success over
the cats ‘because you wanted them’
this painful slow body
