"Like rain
becomes a hearing aid
in darkness.
Let’s assume
she doesn't mind
informal forms of address:
Heavy-eyed space heater,
a one glass girl:
drowning (in flame).
Submerged
(naked
beneath an inflatable pool toy)
a nipple,
maybe areola,
exposes itself
beneath the porch light moon.

Something is wrong –
"Never quit" is written on the grocery list (again).
Stay away from lonely places:
Public pools
Life during wartime
Sunday afternoons"
-by Chad Forgbred
(I really enjoyed how sparse the poem felt, but keeping with such concrete imagery and feeling).
