recalling louise

Louise
He remembers her.

She was a denizen of dim cupboards;
Tiny chests where her telluric throes and chipped teeth
constellated the empty room’s eight corners

where her shoulders became leaden.

She gained momentum
by rolling her heart in a trench
and tossing it to the the morsels Love’s vulture jilted.

Now she—arcane and a shelved longueur
is an opaque scratch on
his deserted Polaroid,
curling in the fire.
