Disconnected

the gloom of
apartment detritus

chenille throw
bar stool
lazy silk rug

rye crisps
jagged ice powerade
cardio bike

half-burned candles
book of questions
bottle of aspirin

fractured memories
broken glass
worn nail file

two stuffed lions
baseball glove

jack daniels cards
florfina cigar box
nine stacked quarters

pratt and whitney lighter
origami crane
one shot glass of regret

collection of june jordan poetry
ex libris bookmark
seventeen cloves

tired lights
oscillating fan
barely used scrabble box

album spilling photos
antique compass
stephen king novel

picnic basket
unplugged fountain

vacant bedsheets
four pillows
empty arms

thirty-four
pieces of jetsam washed ashore
remnants of one person

alone.
