When the wind hits you

autumn in Prague is
a loose tooth you wiggle out
in a Freudian dream
it is the way you rush in heels
into the better times
but your feet get caught into elevator doors

you breathe as slow as the river flows
back and forth with all the confused yellow boats
that have swam around your ghosts
maybe three times –
these are the days when throats sting
and you lose your hands
on frozen handrails
or underneath his arms

autumn in Prague is
the blow of the underground
and your hair
– yours –
your hair as you weave your legs
into the tracks
