Mon enfant
first singing
then silent

pass your
breathless
body ....
I am rope
around your feet

lady red
champagne

maternal & suffering

on starless
air....
I laid you in
holy books
for mothers
to read ....
 alone in
womanhood

across the
 glitered floor

painting fine
oils on old
walls of gold
 

along
the clock tower

I am feminine
doom...
beneath my house
fucked & numb
blue
jingled
light
& wedlock moan
clicking
tongues


bells
& unlit
candles
spit
unnam'd
inside my bent
eyes



from lips
to lungs
on blessed
tongue
disquieted.


watered heaven
rebehold  

be always
soft
like this
