Witnesses to unpunished deeds

Some benches have eyes -

their wooden planks,

knots that see

and cradle our recumbent forms.

Chairs have ears

(wing-backed, enfolding our heads

and absorbing conversation)

and doors have noses

to smell your hands

and dwarf your inferior fingers

with a brilliant brass shine

or dissolve

into a firm quantity of flesh.
