That basket you�d carry, my
how it would sway. Thick straw
holding all those discrete symptoms.

�What?� you said, gruff and tumbling
through traffic. �Where
are you coming from?� I repeated
into the phone. �The mall,� you�d said.
�How was the mall?�
�No, I mean I�m driving
by the mall right now.�
�So where are you coming from?�
�Shit!� your voice twanging in the static,
�I need to pay attention to my driving, I
have to go.�

We mulled over the parcels, pulling them
out from under the swan neck of a handle.
That basket held so much. And suddenly
it was raining again, puffs of our breath mingled
before frosting the windows. �Lets open one,�
you�d said and started breaking ribbon.
