the dog barked suddenly
knocked over the tv table
clawed down the hallway eager
to rip something to shreds
And when she answered it
there was no one on the stoop
an empty step in the orange

when my muscles moved
like a rug unrolling.

My hands opened fully,
and I could run all day

and never think about it.
Now I need a hot bath,

a long soak, a heated blanket.
Life no longer stretches

like tendrils of ivy climbing
an invisible wall. Life

clumps, a simpleton,
someone who knocks

and then forgets
why he's at the door.

To do the shopping, have the table laid.

There is a bridge over Kaveri
