Ash

His white dress
Shirt
Is suspiciously
Wrinkled

He’s been sleeping
In his Lexus
On his Lunch break
At 10:17 a.m.

He pretends to stand
Like Janis Joplin
Lovely and disheveled
His thoughts pace in circles
And I can feel
The liquid
Of his swaying

The drowsy influence
Of his bones

Oh, ache is so simple

But it’s more like absence,
Not finding enough human
Inside.
