luminescent oils by Paul Koniecki
– for reverie
i think if john dorsey had written
a poem about the time we lived
in that little apartment on fort worth
avenue between the i30 on-ramp
and the miramar motel with all the
car troubles and the kid’s car troubles
the trips to king tire for twenty-six
dollar used specials or ten dollar plugs
your famous lentil chick-pea curry
black-bean tomato soup simmering on
the stove and us trying to feed and save
all the world and the beautiful lights
i think he would of called us
luminescent oils
like the bottle of body-wash this morning
standing watch in the corner of the shower
