Do You Have Life?


Do you have Life?

And if so
What does the interior look like?

Is there a photo of your mother

Holding on to you?

Her ageless boy.

Is there a window
Lit by purple street light?
Do you dip your mind in its
Holy sorrow?
Do you whistle your prayers
While snaking late at night?

While in bed
Does your cell phone beep
Surreptitiously in a soft blue corner
Harboring the smell of babies
and tired shoes?

Is your lover afraid of getting cold?
Does he wear thick pajamas and sweaters to bed?
In the morning does he smell like bread?
