LITTLE BANG
“But as the beam of light expands, so does
the circumference of darkness.” Dr. Morris Meister
I struggled with it, a moth bending the light, and also
the lamppost humming, a little like a woman, afterward.
I shifted my weight against him.
Over the phone our voices kept missing
appropriate silences, but I heard him trying
to be quiet,
a shoe
stuck in the mud while feeding the dogs
and with unexpected pleasure
cleaning myself up, splattering the galaxy
of the white porcelain sink.
