The Table

by Molly Goldman

No matter the house
I will be alone

at the table
no matter the excuse

I will be alone
at the table

no matter so suddenly
I will be alone

at the table
tongue no tongue again

not again the bath
and I will be alone

at the table
the cameras are busy

I will be alone
at the table no matter

left shoulder left
shoulder birthday

no birthday try no try
to swim, clutching the lake

no matter
unable unable
