received
I read your leaky letter.
I saw both components
of the twosome
look
out their picture—
window and mirror.
The gaze changed
when they found them-
selves. Conversation
got blowsy, the body
in space backed
up on the water, then
installed itself there,
reading sky for
self, a fiction best
left undeclared. You
know, the letter said,
how I get, licked shut.
