INCIDENTALLY
Exchanges and repayments. We didn’t cheat anyone.
We weren’t cheated either, no. We read clearly all
our history in the passing of a bird.
Then, of course, as always, we needed bread and
salt, the smile of a sensible woman to add
to our evening sleep in a temporary house with
three strayed dogs which barked all night long
guarding not us but the house.
That way we were guarded too until next dawn.
