poem in one breath by Matthew Welton


you’ve been singing along with the radio all morning

and I sit here turning pages without really reading


and your fingers smell like vinegar

and we think we hear the doorbell


and as the shadows sharpen and you prop 

open the window, the drizzle seems to ease



we think it’s our thoughts that are distorting how we see things

though we wonder if it’s what we see that is distorting our thoughts


the sunlight catches the spider-webs 

and I can’t really hear what you’re saying


and somebody’s used up the peanut butter

as we’d imagined somebody might
