Articles from Madam O (2013)

Meanwhile

We try to keep in touch

Lull the storm

Of the indefinite

In-between

Through things definite

In print

Covering and revealing

As clothes falling over

These articles —

Definite

Indefinite

Clothing

They move

I choose

And make

Piece

Of my view

In the meanwhile

We don't say much

We just try to keep in touch
