Nóra Blascsók

bpm

spoon metronome glass
            accordion rattles
mother eyes bus shack
            man walking back
bags bracket legs
            tin like arms nursing
that fresh smell
            of raisin warm
myself by oven cooling
            blue & yellow dishes
pattern the sink
            empty pot tips over
80s song radio
            all we hear is
mother leg tucked under
            shelling monkey nuts
like a monkey
            I take
a scattering of cinnamon
            our third stretches the day
I open the fridge door
            then close it
