Joan Fleming — The game
Joan Fleming
The game
We played a kind of game do you remember
of course you do & do
not lifted up my arms
so you could see what was threaded & blue
the undersides of course a kind of strategy
you do I wore my sunglasses that day that’s all
you wore your arriving look lifted
the page to see what was written on the back
or not to see that what angles
what moves drew us into this
heave & pant this lovely grasping
just a game the cracks
expanded like I didn’t and you
a visitor on your knees
fingering for the die
we never had could never lose
