SHE SMASHES DISHES, by TIMOTHY LIU Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: My mother climbing into bed | ||||||||
My mother climbing into bed, me not sleeping. Death waits outside, lighting a cigarette. He glances down at a watch that has no hands. Soon, soon, he thinks, then takes another drag. Me slipping out of bed at dawn to pick up the pieces. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
