un, deux, trois
i begin to count my fingers
to make sure they're all still there
and they are

for some reason that surprises me

blinking
twitching
i stand up,
vision darkening with
every step

i break my fall
blinking
twitching
seething

and then i lay
in front of the window fan
that my mom told me
not to turn on

it's too hot
it heats the house

un, deux, trois..
i count the times the fan blades
spin

maman, 'l fait chaud
i thought i heard my sister
complain of the heat

clammy and miserable,
i reach for my camera
placed meticulously on
the end table
as not to re break the part
i was forced to super glue
after letting it tumble
to the loathsome earth

and snapped a picture of the fan
le ventilateur, dans toute sa gloire
it talks to me
you know
