My Friend Harry
by
Kathryn Rantala
My friend Harry
writes poems about his nails;
the moons.
He has this sky about him.
Awake at 5 a.m.
I barefoot to my study
by gauzy window light
to write about something
that replenishes.
The moment fails its tendrils.
Back in cold bed covers
a white screen vibrates emptily
beneath my lids.
Harry taps fingersful
upon the table where he writes.
