she stood silent and looking down



behind what you did not see when you
walked by her house
because the x-ray vision glasses
you sent away for had not
yet arrived
behind the bricks and the 
insulation and the sheetrock and
plaster and paint
other atoms vibrated huddled 
into one body of woman
each molecule shivering against the other
sidling up to the hobo's meek fire
asking what happened here
