Letter Carrier

by Bradley David

With me in your womb

like a player piano passenger,

wet red dishtowel overtaking your shoulder

like a napkin draping a pink apple,

you stared out the fogged window,

seams soft and separated by sink steam fleeing

for faint trails through forest-thick night snow,

wondering what I might become.
