Still Life, With Footed Tub Poem by Don McWilliams

Still Life, With Footed Tub



Call me and say
anything.
I promise to be intrigued.
Vary the pitch of your
voice. Distinguish
talk from song
only by careful manipulation
of cadence.

Follow me to the place
where I go to be alone

or alone with you.

Later, remembering the
call, I will swear
that you were singing.

You say you love me.
Elaborate.
