The September 2007 poetry project consists of writing one poem per day in the month of September and putting it up for public consumption regardless of its state of completion.

 

Poem 10. Come Home

I wanted to buy you a red shirt from Nepal with embroidered cuffs.

The buttons were made of wood.

I took it from the rack and carried it as I studied

Tibetan singing bowls, felted shoulder bags, and silver jewelery.

I studied the shirt, a shirt you would never wear, and left it on the counter.
