Double Jinx. Nancy Reddy

СКАЧАТЬ door. You’re dangling

      from the rafters. Ned’s tied up in the basement.

      He’s bound and gagged. He’s never been so grateful.

      THE STRANGE MESSAGE ON THE TRAILHEAD

      You get him back but he won’t stay.

      Silly Ned, he wanders off. He’s lost

      in state parks, disappears on dinner dates.

      You’re on the case. He’s lucky. You rescue him,

      time and time again. You get him back

      in pieces. You swear you hear his voice

      before the dial tone clicks on. You find

      his toenail clippings on the tile. His name’s

      a rock you rub against your teeth.

      He’s a wishbone saved beside the kitchen sink.

      THE INVISIBLE INTRUDER

      You’re digging through her trashcan. You’re watching

      as she slips the proof beneath her skin.

      Her body now the briefcase full of unmarked bills.

      She scrapes her palms against the wall’s fresh paint.

      She swings a bag of bones into the yard.

      Her hands flush red and you know you’ll never

      see that boy again. Born different

you could have been sisters. Like those butterflies

      in shadowboxes, pinned and mounted above the mantle.

      Now you’re the double agent. You’re calling all the shots.

      THE GIRL WHO COULDN’T REMEMBER

      You’re creeping through her flowerbeds.

      There’s no crime to detect here but your own

      and Ned’s long gone. You’re the back door’s loose latch,

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
