I opened my mouth
and all the four-leaf clovers
I’ve collected over the years
fell out.
The antique slips I use for curtains
are stained with storm. This night
is so brittle.
Music thumps above me.
The dogs from behind the wall
yap and yap over the whir
of all these silver fans.
I sweat out
all my grace.
