Family Portrait

1. Dance of the lepers: marshmallows drooping, arms looping. Best at a distant distance
2. Fur coat afloat in a ditch at the hairpin turn, it's always chop, chop//shift for yourself
3. Brownies in a blue robe, the unrelenting optimist behind the folding door at the diner
4. On and on and on and on, until we've forgotten we have voices
5. Nails down to the bone, reformed sneak seeking reason to be good
6. The stubborn one-armed hug
7. Disc-eyed, make it from post to post, feet bent round the fence rungs.
8. A furnace, lips pursed for camera.
