Assembly
(inspired by Gizzi's "Speck")

Single the hands reaching earth
Single the hands between water. Falling
From frame. You are united.

Torn from canvas and thrust homeward
The cries of art no longer imitating
Hallmark greetings and single sonatas.

A woman rocks her bones nowhere,
Cries muffled with small talk.
Seeing only windows. Dreaming doors.
