Early by David Garnerearly
in this
earliness
you make yourself so comfortable
in my apartment
I love to hear
you brewing tea
for me
while I am
sick in bed
you know exactly where things are
I can tell by the perfect number of times
you open and close the kitchen cabinets

Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 11/08/07 at 08:41 PM ooooh I love this. I love "early in this earliness"! (Just as you might expect me to...) I get chills of pleasure reading this. There is "exactly" the right amount of information and subtle feeling here, to achieve this. A favorite. |
