THE BREAKFAST ROOM
Mary Kolesnikova
She sat in the breakfast room
reading an important book
written with importance
and meant for important people.
She sat and spit important words at me
just to see how far they’d go
and how complex they’d sound
after her lips had stolen them.
I don’t think she knew the words,
just their lofty gravitas.
They left black eyes left and right
that she admired in mirrored hallways.
