Crystal
A flight attendant
whose bra fits poorly
a smooth quartz
holding the sanity of a
young twenty something
in its refractions
half the name of a salt brand
half the name of a lake
somewhere
probably
when its a ball
it predicts the future
or at least
reveals it
when it’s a powder
it’s illegal, addictive
when it’s a glass
you’re dining somewhere fancy
savor the
food and the
feel of the
upper echelon
— — — — — — — —
Suit
You can follow it
Sure
But why do that
When you can wear it

Vessel
Her leg touches mine touches against hers
She knows and I know she knows
It’s us, only us
And my can of seltzer water
A hand lingers interrupted by the cry of a baby
We never exchanged words yet
Found intimacy in row 15
