where the writers are
new short poem

Altar

I can see my breath.
No windows.  

Everything not moving
is painted white. Here,
 
in your mother's basement,
I lie back on the bed
 
tucked under silver ducts,
offering the whole mottled

bag of me on these
delicately stained sheets,
bleached and bleached.

Does it make sense, or have I left too much out?
