Blood Organ Poem

chair arrangement montage; the places we have sat together and/or should have.

chairs shyly touching in eyebrow lift glare

chairs angled upwards in acrobatic retirement

chairs challenge chairs with vinyl rage

chairs in a somber row.

I chair up to you to show you where I would have been in other chair arrangements where you might have been

alone

In this bend I am, unnatural pose

so lift me

place me

hours before

in every chair

that's ever been

empty beside you.
