a high glass cabinet door shatteredshowered
shards slivers onto the tiled kitchen floor
WHAT THE HELL WAS
THATYOU OKAY
she didnt move
was barefoot
upset
crying
he entered the kitchen
took
a breath
Stay still Ill get a broom an dustpan
he was deliberate
cleared a path to her
had her remove her bathrobe bundled it outside in
got her to the kitchen threshold
gave her his shirt
naked one feels vulnerable
Feel like any glass got in your
hair
No.
Maybe get a comb go outside
gently comb your hair Ill get this
cleaned up
he swept the counter the floor
washed the counter the floor
she showered
sat in the livingroom listened to
music sipped a claret from the liquor cabinet giggled
nervously its door was glass
Thas tha Spickanspan
Thank you.
Youre welcome
she sold him on a glass of claret . . . plum,
cherry, and licorice flavor notes.
What happened
Truly. What happened? No idea.
I didnt hear it slam just heard glass
Well, you know the kitchen
cabinet doors have that action where you shut them to within a couple of inches,
they shut themselves.
Yes Youll recall I was against tha but its your
kitchen
I do recall. Your expression when
I decided to go ahead with the installation was priceless.
I suppose kindalike your
expression standing there in broken glass
How do you mean?
I expected something of the kind
Expected? That waswhat?three
years ago? It’s been a long tim . .
.
. Until it isnt
Words been out
What word?
Your clever kitchen cabinets
What do you mean?
Tempting fate
What did I tempt?
Either spooks or gnomesId bet
gnomes
What are you talking about?
Paracelsus
Who?
Paracelsus Elementals
There is as much difference between the
bodies of men an the bodies of Nature spirits elementals as there is between
matter an spirit
Shoud have opted to shut cabinets
like we have been
But no They caughtup with ya
You’re nuts.
Your cabinet glass was smashed
Egnomeously
How’s that?
E G N O M E O U S L Y
G N O M E

the Elementals

Something to chew on Technology isnt elemental
The
clarets surprisingly good
