grasping
past the big oleander bush
backing off the tiles onto the lawn
staring at the railing
staring at the terrazzo decking of the porch
through the spaces between the balusters
between the top rail and the bottom one if you
prefer to look at it that way the way the
birds had gone silent
silence the air
traffic on the highway
about a kilometre away bikes
then the brush decorator’s brush
natural bristle
ancient the bristles nicked into at the toe
or torn half-torn away
remnants of paint (water base)
on the ferrule and
on the handle
