Poem: Everyday Nothings by Crystal Taylor Footprints on the rug grow brown under my dog’s paw pads. I wash it, but a thread pulls the hem until the seams come loose. I can’t out-think the worry-weeds tumbling under my head when I sleep while the caulk peels and cleaves around the quarter rounds. Bags of things sleep in the guest bedroom: now it’s inhospitable. The cat leaves his sweater rolled up beside the curtains, while the laundry breeds a mound of sleeves down the hallway, miles-long. If there were any music left in my head, maybe I could inch along.
