Five
5th St. calls mom honkey
in the garden
while we swim
above our neighbors'
dead grass. The Honda
she lent them idles
in their driveway,
missing the 'H'
from its grill,
a tooth no one finds
after a fight, as if
it could slide back in
and the gap would
fill under the lips
of its smile. I can't
look away from her
car because my
mother is on the steps
and I am afraid
to see her face
after the jab and
in her silence
I can hear
it land.
