Â
All of the paintings in the hall are yours:
a newspaper on your front porch,
an empty vase in your kitchenÂ
Â
Every piece of clothing in your closet is blue:
faded jeans with empty knees,Â
dark blue sweaters
Â
Each of the pictures in the photo album are:
partial self portaits
images of her hands;  her  feet
Â
They were all taken on a single summer's day
two years ago
the sunburn lasted for days
