theyre back
Youse
back he said aloud in the kitchen I think youre back
one ifnot all threethey were chummy he believed they were family
for him thadbe Purgatoryone of the Circles of Hell
How do I love
thee let me count the ways
NINE
Dante was all over it
First circle Limbo Second Lust Third Gluttony Fourth Greed
Fifth Anger THERELL BE A TEST AT THE
CONCLUSION OF THE CIRCLESPAY ATTENTION Put your cribsheets together
next Six Heresey Seventh Violence
Eighth Fraud Ninth Treachery knockknockknock at Hells Gate
to surf the abundant seam between
alive an somethingelse with family whell hed opt for immortality
or at least until all others left ahead of him so he could recline and feed whamaybe
Youse back was provoked by the
kitchensponge he set on the porcelaindivide between the two sinks
it woud leap into one sink
or the other no matter how deliberately he set it down
the he-ghost was notorious for
making noises in the middle of the night that woke them notorious for opening
all the kitchen cabinet doors Find wha yawere
looking for
the girls were
demure an elderlymotherly an one younger
whod float over him whispering his name while he laid in bed which would provoke he
whod come noisily down the hall darken the bedroom threshold but didnt enter then retreated
perhaps jealously
the girls were sly mischievous
theyd move things around to suit their taste or hide deodorants perfumes bath oils matchbooks to light candles toothbrushes hairbrushes
combs condoms turn-on vibrators Whas tha noise? eyes rolled if they were out sapped batteries
finished washing the dishes pot
and pans
he placed the sponge in its gridded holder
a place for everything an everything
in its place girls
would move his keys
returning to the kitchen
the sponge in one or the other sink four out of ten trips back
this now going on a month
