Emily as We Put Paintings on the Floor
Ungloved, a hand
can be our only art,
even if we blink
& even if we blink
if will still be art
if it’s holding the slant
against another hand.
If we lean on
the world
& the world removes
itself, the physics
of our coupling
will be test only.
That doesn’t mean
it won’t be beautiful.
