He fed us

silver in the

attic again.

 

All afternoon

our blonde stomachs

dreamt of rain.

 

Grandpa said

we’d left

the door open.

 

First the dog ran

in, and then water

filled the house.

 

We stayed

in the attic,

vomiting silver.

Throughout the afternoon

Blondes stomachs

Filled the house.

 

We stayed

In the attic

He fed us

Silver

In the attic again.

 

All afternoon

Our blonde pregnancy

Dreamed of rain.

 

Grandfather said

And then in the water

Came the house.

 

We stayed

In the attic,

Silver vomiting.
