Goose Egg

She would have to avoid bitterness
to close the circle, bridge
the orange glow and stifling heat,
the filthy, shattered streets still
eerily reflected in your own glass skin.
I played piano, not interested in revenge.
You build alliances on the road.
Some quiet confessions flash in your mind:
awkward positions not-entirely-altogether,
off-label uses for plenary indulgences–
a spiritual benefit of reading and writing.
