  here are the simple
  things . . .
  
  

  1.
  raw skin
  
  

  2.
  time filtering
  through light,
  resting
  neck
  on
  neck
  
  

  3.
  dial ?
  
  

  tone!
  
  

  4.
  bathroom words
  
  

  5.
  your hands
  
  

  (say
  it
  again –
  your
  
  

  
  

  hands)
  
  

  6.
  unassuming pure devotion
  as in
  an arm in its six thousandth
  flame
  
  

  7.
  the
  river :
  
  

  leaking
  its
  secrets
  
  

  8.
  the layer of
  dust
  
  

  9.
  attraction
  
  

  10.
  counting
  
  

  11.
  and
  never
  to forget:
  
  

  windows.
