She’s a Pill

*

Susan Wheeler

Oh, dangling long sleeves in the Mercurochrome.

Parking her punch on her knees.

I’m not a joiner.

In the night, a visitation, small as a thumb,

enters the sealed house and ascends.

Mother wouldn’t have stood for that long. Drippy-drooping around

on heels. Leaving the blue cheese out.
