There is a cliff in my Kansas Life –
A knife cut to the bone
Through artery and ligament, he
Instructed me.
There is a pit in front of next
That opens with a pop, he
Showed me with a sake glass
And Japan fan
I loved what was to come, he
Jilted me. This morning, the slight
Weight of eyeglasses on nose – twenty-nine
Years awake in strange Topeka, sun rises.
