Eating room service
French onion soup
in the dark
hoping the baby will sleep
Merlot arrived sheathed in Saran Wrap
sealed for someone’s protection
not mine
Two-alarm fire
in a three-story building
watched across the way yesterday
We were safe,
always safe
bag
baby
2000 Subaru
Brooklyn
Brookline
beyond
Puncturing cheese
with a hotel spoon
hot broth
senses an opening
rises up
It’s still dark but
my eyes
are adjusting
