loading (a poem on onewords from five months ago)

loading her boxes
into the back of the truck
the skin between her jeans
and her shirt
is visible

raw and
pale

she drops a cardboard
prism onto
the pavement
and it

unhinges itself
papers and pictures
splattering everywhere
like paint

her face and the faces
of everyone she
loves
flapping on the
concrete
