The Kingdom of Ordinary Time by Marie Howe

In the Course of the Last Three Days
She turned her face to the right
opening her mouth as wide as it would go—so open
cupped open—so as to take in the most air—she was all body
by then—a body that couldn’t disguise its desire.
Under her toenails we discovered a forest—mushrooms stacked
like white china plates.
And when she was dead
we pulled the roses off the stems and scattered them over the sheet.
One of us touched her foot
One of us touched her shoulder
One of us tried to pull off her rings.
One of us tried to close her mouth by placing one hand on her head
and another hand under her chin, but her mouth wouldn’t close.
