liver

I hang out the washing

at night.

Each peg squeaks

into place.

You, in the kitchen light,

warming my back.

~

I’m worrying again

about your liver

as if it helps.

I feel around

on you – which side

is it? How big?

~

You have nightmares

and kick me in your sleep.

Sometimes

I kick you back.

From 'mātuhi | needle', Victoria University Press / Perceval Press, 2004
