recalling louise

His hands grip the sink,
as he remembers Louise

His shoulders tighten and recalls
her denizen of dim cupboards;
her telluric throes and chipped teeth that
constellated the empty room’s eight corners

where her shoulders became leaden.

Now she—arcane and a shelved longueur
is an opaque scratch on
his deserted Polaroid,
tucked in the frame of the bathroom mirror.
