Nathan Meets Yeti at the Grocery Store after Mary Huyck Mulka

and says he sounds familiar,
but Yeti shakes his head no

but Nathan keeps insisting
a bee buzzing ‘round Yeti’s fur

he pulls papers from his pockets,
points

Look. See. Just like you.

someone wrote a sad story
that keeps me up at night
in the witching hours

Yeti’s silent, so Nathan
sighs in Yeti, Yeti’s not
interested in the story anymore

and Yeti turns from the freezer
to explain, but Nathan is gone
and he’s alone again

a poem with a sandy footprint
about Yeti’s wife

stuck to the floor
