Meditation 53

by Audrey Gidman

 

You stay in a place too long  you start making

people sickyou get stagnant.

 

In the active silence she is broken

as a kitchen appliance.

 

Faucet dripping like slow church bells.

Crumbs in the sink.

 

Tangled: pressing her nails

into the countertop.

 

The timer on the stove is God

saying No. Keep moving.
