this
is
what
i
wear
to
stay
warm
with
winter
on
its
way
:
a
shirt
under
a
shirt
under
another
shirt
under
a
hooded cotton cloak
i
first
swaddled
myself
in
sixteen
years
ago
after
thinking
i
might
die
while
kissing
carpet
in
the
room
i
keep
my
records
in
,
split
between
a
bowed wooden shelf
and
one
made
of
glass
i
bought
from
a
woman
whose
stomach
was
swollen
with
incipient
life
.
i
wonder
what
name
her
child
answers
to
now
.
