Islands
I'll look out there near the rock, see the man shaking Shakespeare off his ear.
----
He couldn't remember the name, of the suitor that he punched.
---
Visible in the misty snow, he breaks the mailbox.
---
The door breathes, that man just opened the pantry.
---
A few weeks of solitude in December. Or November. Or October. Or August.
---
He burns the Bronte, cooking day old soup.
---
I think he looks at me, he said something.
---
"Trust Emily you'll say. Leave undetermined love. Be a enigma like Heathcliff. Of course I listen. My name is Wake."
---
He sat down, we watched a cartoon.
