Postcard-Sign (Off) Language
words out of bones writing cursive
on air. limbs bend, reach, fold
to form each letter, then stay
rigid after every stroke. this is
how, in choppy stance, she speaks
to the deaf man before
he grows tired, looks away, turns
the light off, dreams
of underwater sightseeing
over oyster culture farms
where he often snaps
pictures of opened, harvested shells,
takes them with him as he wakes
beside the blind, quiet woman.
