Unattainability Ode
By Callie Siskel
Bold lover, flexed moth,
sprinklers in a stranger’s yard,
morning dream, lake smooth
as a dinner plate, father
praying, water under a pier,
mother’s hand, counting,
color of wet stone, ears
before piercing, sound of
father leaving, disembodiment,
a voicemail, routine as in road,
