Frank St.

A sequence of poems by Cameron Anstee

your fingers

and where they make familiar


and this room makes more sense


you arranged the furniture

while I picked up boxes


the things we carried here

and their shapes from light


our pillows match your birthmark


the ivy, and the umbrella, and the cactus

from Champagne


yes, we’ve kept these plants alive

and some days we remember
