There are crumbled petals,
and Tina's at the door
tongue sucking on teeth, walking the
neighborhood
with her accordion. Hatching plans.
There are these animals, she says
steal other animal's eggs.
when they hatch
it's always a surprise.
tina used to take her shirt off at parties.
go "wooooooooo!"
the night before i left I helped her rearrange her living room.
we shared a coke. Listened to Korean pop music.
I'll miss bringing you flowers, I murmur
curled up on the stiff couch
on the East wall-
Tina placed between two windows,
on the West.
she walked me home. "There's so much room in the world for
us".
Her slight hands make quick work
of the accordion keys.
