White Hydrangea

Author: 
Michael Dickman

From the fridge

Voices and tubs of whipped cream

In cool limelight

Glowing day and night

 

Against the house

A cone or picket fence all in a line

Imitating kids

 

Part shade part whipple

 

Pistachios dust the car window in weird pollen

 

My headaches tip forward into toilets or break off little pieces of ice

feathered through

with yellow comb

 

Icebergs leak flowers & amp; medical grade neon

Over-the-counter Jell-O

Open the fridge and the fridge sighs

 

Powdered milk

And smooth leaves

Switch on

 

The petals are Wet-n-Wild Megalast Highshine

 

It’s terrible here
