Pampas Grass

pampas grass
marsh mud glistens
in the rowboat


marsh wren's cry
the sun ripples onto the mud


wetland chill
a patch of ripples disappears


marsh lightning
the tree's blossoms open
into egrets


wetland channel
the moon spreads onto the grass

midnight, blackest sky
the smell of satin and sweat
humid air like claws

an overhead fan
spinning lazily, rattling
head bobs up and down

awaiting release
money put on the dresser
he pretends to sleep

washing by the sink
while avoiding the mirror
the businessman snores

pulling the boots on
the night sticks to her insides
it will not wash off
