LISA M. TESORIERO

since her heart
and the inevitable
I've found shelter
in the ordinary
repeating itself

at the stove
my face glistens
with rising heat
the cool cotton sheets
soon drenched in our love

exploring
the open plain then
getting lost
in wiry brambles
deep inside you
                                                    
after you've gone
the house sighs
an oppressive silence
from out of dark corners
too many legs

this morning
your web
across my doorway
I tear it down knowing
tomorrow I'll do the same
