for Deanka Saunders
instant of contact, married a moment
does she suffer from sinusitis
I in sympathy as I usually am
this once without a wall up, without partition
letting me care away our differences
worn away over all these visits
food I’d eat
have how many times passed through her fingers
she knows my diet
does she wonder that I shop for myself,
that I eat alone, from the microwave, from cans I open
I’m certain she notices
rice is never included, no meats
she has deduced I have no stove, no wife
no nights beneath the sheets
no family life
