knock at the door by Justin Hyde

farro
boiling on the stove

large

handsome man

blue slacks
widow’s peak

my eyes
find his eyes
they find

the ground

his eyes again

please

don’t take my wife
from me


his adam’s apple
moves up
it moves

down

my hands
find the
front of my jeans

find each other

calluses like
muted pyramids

he turns

& walks away.
