nicole reynolds - poems


all these variables


the pre-storm air, the
man staring at me in the
blue truck for an hour
while i read bukowski
and piercy
the phone that stays silent
through the day (and
i'm happy for that) the
cramps in my wrist of
technology, the cramps in
my back of industry,
the light that flickers
in the room on and off
when the light bulb is
perfectly fine. maybe
it's god, or the ghost of
some nun who used to
live in this renovated
convent, angry at the
sodomy, jealous of the
flesh, the booze, the
molasses nicotine
