Expatriate


last night in a salty purl of fog

I stood by the café by the bank

and smelled

the magnolias

by the reservoir.

a pimple of water

stood on the table

to recall the demitasse.



those hours passed

and the fog sucked slowly

down the blue bank.

the river fell out to the sea,

and a puddle in the fog

held the prints of my shoes

until morning.
