scene from my
balcony—
with full spread wings, the seagulls
lift—fall—lift— fall
sudden power failure—
stuck in the elevator
claustrophobic—
huffin' an puffin'
she climbs the stairs
Ferris wheel—
my stomach goes up
as we go down
chocolate souffle rising . . .
the oven door slams!
Chateauneuf-du-Pape—
carefully stacking the bottles
in the cellar
