April


Painting by Olga Lipats


April


by CL Bledsoe


A room with sock. Stained
yellow pillow in the closet.
Smell of life.
Skin
piled on shelves.
Space
to fill.
Afternoon light.
Hollow
as a tooth eaten by sugar.

A book is missing. I don't recall
its title. Wash the blankets.
Put them away. Find shoes
good for walking in, not just
to stand.
