The undersides
of the hands. The hair.
The eyes. The chin,
the spot where the chin
becomes the neck.
Both of the arms.
The armpits.
The left tennis sneaker,
Wilson brand.
Water that we could
have left for him.
The sound of trains.
The canals that carry sound
into the ears. The ears.
Bruises and lips.
Wallet, if there ever was
a wallet. Light after a while.
Dark after a while.
Thighs. A name.
The face, the neck.
