you put it all down
in the shape of a pad
or a walk, or some rocks,
or a post-office box
and you boil it down to
the simple, the skeletal—the way
that I discovered, just the other day,
of washing grapes:
you move your hand in circles
gently agitate and press and roll
the grapes against the inside of the bowl
until the stems detach
and float intact up to the surface
like the bones of birds (but greener)
