RE: CONSTRUCTION


Jane Butkin Roth



Remembering
Fifteen samples of gray tile
I woke, grabbed the flashlight
from my nightstand.

I searched, no
hunted the dark
for a hint of taupe
��pink
��warmth

While you held vigil
for gray
��black
��white

You slept
your body like the cold
hard surfaces, your comforts
bold granite, smooth
marble, only
black white gray

My revenge,
a private place no one would notice
Half bath, overflowing
with luscious plums, florals
eggplant, deep forest greens

Triumphant, golden
paper birds
carrying grapes
on their flight to freedom.
