The taxidermist at her table
a white mouse (a feeder mouse)
soft drift of white
his modest truth
disarms me
forehead
ears, feet
mouth
a dim rose
with teeth
I admire
this raw meat of us
this ease
dream of radishes
wheat
(how I adore this somewhat wise housemate)
*
a white mouse (2)
what has a white mouse to show us?
I meet him
white mute item
(fate
air hums with it)
he was
I sew him shut
wish him home
he is.
*
a white mouse (5)
hiatus
time teems
thaws
she ate
she saw
Oh muse most
whose tame wish
was oats
