postcard from the beach -
her scribbled greetings
without a signature


                                            gone swimming -
                                            I slip into the warmth
                                            of your lounge chair


pregnant -
sucking at her feet
the outgoing tide



                                            the dog growls
                                            at the wetsuit
                                            hanging up to dry


kicking stones
on the trail
the lump in my breast



                                            job interview -
                                            therapist's son
                                            makes no eye contact
