The Art of Tetman Callis Poems couch, hands, cat

couch, hands, cat

this couch is nice and long
she said
even a person as tall as yourself
could sleep on it easily

i looked at her hands
her small and slender fingers

i like your hands
i said
i see myself holding them
in ways that might alarm you

i stood to leave
opened her door

she looked at her cat

stay
she said
