STUFF
When Paschal first saw
Michaela’s apartment, he thought
she’d been robbed: a single
futon on the floor.
He said to her, “Where’sall your stuff?”
She said, “A conversation,
a song, a man moving
in step to my
step.
I’m unable to hang
these art forms on the wall.”She asks Paschal, “What events
will this room
memorize?” He guesses
but doesn’t say,
“Our child playing
with Lego.”After they marry
Paschal abandons his electric
waffle iron, black love
seat, and the watercolour
of highrises.
In the new housethat he designs for Michaela
long bands of windows
reflect the riveron white walls.
Friends offer to buy
furniture and art
for him
but he tells them that the babbling
notes of his son
cannot be framed.
He slides backpanels:
reveals his grandmother’s
hand-embroidered cushions.
