Details had been her specialty;
and she was the best, people said,
but the particulars had turned on her--
her life had become one long pause
between the details--
"How did this happen?" 
she wondered aloud as she stacked them
neatly next to her bed, 
in the kitchen, on top of the desk
and in boxes in the basement--
one day she would get to them.

The mail arrives wrapped
in damp spider silk
and news to keep me
spinning for a week.
