Issue #100

They say they’re open
Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it’s
Best to call Susan

Ahead of time. She
Owns most of the tired main street -
Three warehouses full

Of another time’s
Treasure and we get lost in
A room with enough

Handelless doors to
Furnish the county. Basement -
Cemetery of

Porcelain pedestal
Sinks, faucets that spill spider
Silk. It’s all selvage

At Grand Illusion.
Susan will lock up after
Us. We take back roads

Home in a volley
Of violent maple trees, give
Thanks to what rambles.
