[Verse 1]
You in the living room
You on a Tuesday afternoon
A breeze seen when the curtains move
You by the window with both feet up on the couch
Where you sit and you read and I watch you
[Verse 2]
From the office the sunlight frames your silhouette
I think of lighting fireworks, I think of pirouettes
I idly write down observations on the scene
Like do the blueprints name the rooms alone?
Do we name them on our own?
We hardly live in there
[Verse 3]
You with a book propped on your knees
A breeze seen in your coffee steam
I’m in the office thinking back to rules of poetry
Like, it’s fourteen lines, the last two rhyme
What does pentameter mean?
[Verse 4]
You in the living room
Legs bent at forty-five degrees
I write AB AB, try to find your rhyme scheme
I look for objects on the desk with which to sculpt your image best
What would I name this? Could I paint it “Woman (reading)?” “Girl (at rest)?”
