Circles in the Bedroom
The flower on the base of the nipple light.
His belly button filled with lint.
The nipple cracked like glass.
From which point hang the crystals.
Every piece of the chandelier.
The hot pink cat collar and its encircling spikes of blue-black.
Plastic white pearl lid.
Polyethylene blue with water inside.
Now no water inside.
Fuchsia pattern, tiny on the bedspread.
Black and brown dog dirt on the fitted sheet like fleas.
Black outline and black mobius of two hair bands.
The dog nose painted on the nightlight.
The dog nose holes.
All the pewter ones and one gold stamen porcelain drawer knob.
The brushed nickel doorknob.
Ugly white plastic curtain rings along the curtain rod.
Beat brown leather dog collar
around a dog neck, thick.
The fan encasing like tree rings.
A diamond.
A new boy asleep on the dirty fitted sheet,
eyes closed: two ohs, ohs.
