Window Washer

Stephen Jordan

 
I

 

I am twenty-three stories high.

I am smooth across the exoskeletons
of the city.

Tonnages press hard
on the earth,
buildings puncture
the sky.

The dripping, sticky sap
inside of me.

The squeak of clean
on the window.

 
II

 

I watch their mouths move.

Beehive cells
lined with carpets.

A slurry of words and protocols
seal up the cracks.

I was uprooted
long ago,
nothing to feed
the frayed fibers left.

My scaffolding sways
and knocks against the window.
