               after Eileen O’Toole

tiger while cleaning bloody paws
   
children when not interrupted
   
lovers after, in repose
   
baby at the breast, when milk is ready, reliable, warm
   
astronaut before anyone says a word
   
barnacle upon successful clinging
   
teacher later, when she understands the import
   
heart between difficult questions
   
fist no. never a fist.
