“A dialogue with death” & “Cortege”
This day should be a carnival
for a man who oozed mischief.
I might have worn my long red skirt
waited for him to throw off the lid
look death in the eye and
mouth his usual refrain:
let’s get this show on the road.
“The Kingdom Comes Like a Joke” & “Manifesto”
“the kingdom comes like a joke / told by a child, littered with /
what do you get and what happens now / and how many how many how many / like a game / of lost and found”
“nectarine season” & “brain help / love, belly”
“you ask me to be patient. i paint an old bookshelf
& remember my posture, the way blossoms become
one last thing.”
“Tricks for good weather and bad” & “The way you are good to me”
“The moth doesn’t hear him, flies right back to the dads’ flamethrowers and you can’t stop it, can’t stop anything. To the moth all fire is sun.”
Two Amy Winehouse Poems
“under house lights you move / through hallways backstage like it’s a sin / to inhabit your own skin”
