the storms stay

dreaming of being in a childhood neighbors' house; brady and dani from middle school show choir are here looking at old video stills of us and laughing,

downstairs a real estate woman guides

a sophisticated gay couple on a tour

everywhere there is exquisite blown glass, vases, sculptures, fixtures

crowding in a mismatched liquid candy flock, a table is a giant white shallow bowl on a claw pedestal, swirled in carnival colors

transparent and opaque

the couple hems and haws
