Down in the Parlor

my ankles creak

on the sore steps

– whole years passing through

as the bones walk down my body

and in the room corner

– above the burial ground

my soul settles,

hovering up and up, resting

near to the spider’s nests,

where every lie of my life hangs

where even the oil lamp

averts its eyes
