Recollecting Unusual Positions
Simultaneously
looking down at her back
through the hull
of a glass bottomed boat
and up at the soles
of her feet and her skirts
from where he lay
in the gutter of some god
forsaken city or other ..
Anyone watching
would have thought it was
magic, or witchcraft
or something entirely not
of this earth ..
And they would have been
right of course,
since he was in the process
of dying alone
in that gutter, with just a few
fading photographs
and a memory or two of her ..
