Homecoming
Knees bend into my
cherry wood dresser
topped with yellow candle
wax and stale gray coins –
a plastic birthday cake
dotted with my fingertips
draped with dust bunnies
and kissing the floor.
My foreign body folds
like stiff sweaters
into flower-papered drawers
lined with sock puppet musk
that cradles me – I am
here. beneath a jewelry box
and in the timeless dark
but lit by naked windows.
