No Matter Which Way


Painting of "landscape" by Michelle Calkins


no matter which way


no matter which way
i look at it, there is
a crease consistent
with the weight of your
memory

in each new memory –

i am stepping off
the train, and the
platform curls,
losing its grip
on me.

i am opening my
mouth to speak,
and the sentence
dog-ears, and i
am undone.

i am looking
at the sky, and the sky
is rolling up its
corners, already finished
with me
