An Invitation

from Singles by Act Of

lyrics

oil left in the sauce pan
stove heat on nine
i didn't smell a thing
so back into the kitchen,
what a surprise
formed as a supercell storm cloud rising

six-foot tall or maybe more
toss it into the sink
i turn the faucet on to hear the hiss, to hear the hiss
and swallow stinging smoke until i find a bag to fan it
a flattened box is better
open every window

self defense
psychic defense
calls us to be direct
lest we let the oil burn
it's not in our hands how another reacts
whether so let down
or whipping where we also feel the lash
hoarding kinds of secrets that do better when uncanned
will break the shelf

wide open
and opening still

traveling light
i am traveling light
i'm a traveling light
i am traveling lightly
