Brenda C. Gerritsma


SUBTLETIES

you store my joy in subtle places
the tambourine and the cookie jar
the corners behind doors
and the pockets of old coats
you paint my sorrowful face
in the colors of laughter
you lay my body raw
clean-edged and breathing yet
whispering our few seasons into silence
I am lost within the house
forgetting the subtle places
