NIGHTGOWN
You made us lunch
I tried on bygone clothes
Then tried them off
I went through a phase
Where I wore negligees
In daytime as dresses
I loved the appliqués
Embroidered roses
The luster of the tulle
I folded
One white silk number
I’d never worn
I sleepwalked
To the kitchen
I stirred the macaroni
NATURE DOCUMENTARY
The cats do this thing where they sleep
All day in America waiting to be loved
