B137. She leans herself

into my arms, having walked in to hug
her Mother goodnight. I want to unfurl
yards and yards of white taffeta, a satin
train she craves.
Instead, her voice unleashes the unharnessed

up to her Father's Edelweiss from His memory.

B136. 8 drafts and not

worth showing.
show anyway.

(N.B. = When did my thoughts become "drafts"?)

I see you [8]
in the bear's instinctive
catching the salmon's leap.
I would be devoured by you,
spawning waters.

JANU JULY 2009 [7]
I starve for you.

Saturday's dinner
& yesterday's lunch
is a fine reminder
I am nourished.

B135. Will the next member [6]
know the pleasure of rashes?

What questions the birds
rents her own veil.

B134. On the feet [5]
the pink shoes went
to the party,
and yelling, standing, posting,

the story I could hardly believe he was
saying. The literal story of his
father's death and his mother's

insanity. His thirteenth year,
not quite fifty, and recognizing
he would have to relinquish

the responsibility--insisting he would have
to--to the liars who had
come too close.

B133. the words [4]
i have today are not worth the Shewbread
I can't get out of my temple.

Can't text this.

just did.

B132. I know it is not prudent [3]
to write when a nap is causing my body
to vomit.

This afternoon [2]
I bought a Sunny orange drink from 5 smiling children waving
their arms at my car. For .35 cents
I got a green SOLO cup, and the littlest child
asked me if I wanted a round sticker. Mickey Mouse
went on my left hand, .35 cents went out of my right, and the cup
and goodbyes went their respective ways. I advertised the children
four houses down to the foreigners digging a ditch for the owners.
Who knows if they cared.

B131. The pink shoes [1]
will go upstairs, and I
will find my toothbrush, since
I mentioned it before.

There is a birthday party
tonight, at my parents' house, Melody
and James, the outer siblings.

Do I have a gift? No. Not yet,
because all I can think at this second is,
make something of yourself, make something

of yourself--see them?? Yes. So make something
to bring to them. How
idiotic my tip-toeing barefoot upstairs, empty-handed.

Would you take my feet?
If so, I'll wash them for you. Again.
Do you see?

B129. putting anything

up was enough, until I wanted to put something down,
like Tasha Tudor put nothing down, nothing down her choosing
hand's joyful imagination and corgis and grandchildren, welcome
garden's watering old charm's quaint legacy. Her illustrations
what I would live, were I her.

I want to make a hallmark card of this second wind.
And my breath, oh, why must I even think to tell you of that.

gentle lies: "The One who remembers Sleeping
makes a way for the Body."

And fear, fresh as commercial

trying to steal your life."

I am not afraid of rubber fingers
in my skin, removing my brain, my tumors,

survival depended upon his fighting to stay awake.

B91. Expansion

As summer squash

in the blackberry pancake
with ginger and butter by
coffee and the library book,
not overdue, as I had thought;

As copper impurity

in fusing golden rings,
was sized the circular perfection
of Jesus poured

As the earth is Eternity's golden fuse.


[Poet's comment: this poem changed a lot between yesterday and today, but it was difficult. It came from a lunch combination that I wanted to share, as well as from some inspiring information about gold, that I learned through the amazing enthusiasm of artist and metal smith, David Lovegrove. You may view his work on http://eloquentjewel.com. "Expansion" is attempting to communicate my thought that the earth is like the copper impurity in the gold ring of eternity. I think I successfully communicated that, but in all of the changes tinkering with the poem yesterday, I got the berries wrong!

This morning I remembered that the lunch pancake I had made had BLACKBERRIES with yellow summer squash, ginger and butter, not blueberries. I think blueberries might not taste as good with summer squash and ginger. Blackberries do. Maybe you'd like the combination, too.]

B86. Now, the plate of the sphere

may be scalpel ready again, one layer, daub
the blood into the next layer, through
to the scalp, careful drill and expert, tracing
surgical the discussed area of You, removing
the plate, and afterward, bright, translucent

that continues exerting its mind upon the
rest. severing
peace, peace
see for yourself, yours is too, the parts

B81. Embalming my bones

with the spices of lives
and wrapping the image with
linen so tight the resemblance
to three generations, 5000 generations
removed will know the youth
I insist on preserving.

Bury my bones, girl. Under the tree
where you have been dreaming
the sheaves, bringing in

the soup kitchen, thankful,
shaming the satisfaction of broth.

"Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord
has been good to you."

B80. The upholstered bed

was a box in a room of flowers
for Tammy. And Debra, friend
Goldilocks playing Sleeping Beauty,

ruptured brain not seen on the playground
when she fell to the ground, her mother rushing

out of the house--but no, she was IN the house;
Debra rushed IN the house when she fell. And the upholstered
bed with flowers made her parents' eyes bright, their purchase,

their hands soft with emptiness lining the room walked
foot by foot, heel to tow, two to heal in Tammy's swing
set above her house, the happiest birthday

I remember dying free, childlike as child was not
pushed, just swinging, dying Now, pushing my adult
back to the mausoleum, I look for fabric

and new springs and Nothing upholstered, in any box at all,
lined or flowered, Nothing but Sleep walking
Goldilocks home.

wanting more than I've had, than I am here grown.

B79. The bars are not what they were

as the movie showed them, and the ancient stacked cells' rack,
They make me a crayon and my face, even when my heart is tempted
to repent, the crayon of my face, these doors, the bars, nothing like the movies,
my memory nothing like a commercial, rather like the property I didn't want and purchased at the cost of years--like that, gone. These bars, could they be a staff? And my voice, could it be music?

B78. The sailor died

Come home, away from the water, He's Gone and not to return. Come
home, away from the coloring bugle or stacking sunshine, the flower grows
by the doorway. Come home, your bed is ready, the colt now runs in your meadow. And I will walk with you and hear your heart. Walk with me. Come home.

roof tops near king's Return, my cistern, to the hours
pouring yourself from glass 'd is covers in myst, terries' felled smooth
ands, conned as dry the bathing tops of sand pouring your life, my sister,
my cistern whose are your words, and where is your sleep riding empty as oceans against your tiny fields of vision, cold remembering, imagining the wrecks that knew nothing of the reef, rich though it was, now we know, rich in color, but nothing for ships and sailors wanting to land, land, land, my sister, cracked cistern glassing your hours to fell smoothing.

B74. How could You

forget that you are a King

and expect ME to remind myself

in the simplicity of KNOWING

you are a King, that I

am daughter--female child? like your mother--

of King. Why cannot Mary be Queen of Heaven?

I ask Why Woman is debased

and debasing her selves in the earth

man-handled by weathervanes in

the Forgetful King's Courting the white cloth

that will only be red, again and again and again

she is a woman.

Was Mary given the option of being

named Queen of Heaven, and did she politely, rightly, in excellent

nobility decline the title, knowing herself? I may be still,

if you would say, and keep saying and never forget

to say For Yourself to me, that You are King,

mindful of the Woman you served as Son, and not a Pimp

of the Feminine Willingness to bend, bow, prostrate

out of devotion to the Promise of You, forgetful King of Glory.

I miss sunshine for the promise of you.

I miss manufactured joys for the promise of you.

I miss the distance of here to there for the explanations of You,
reminding myself I am a woman, reasoning THAT
as the reason you forget yourself.

Just Go Away, if you're not going to hold me.

B72. He was

Was he slipped through veiled deceit,
spiritual intentions, into my mother's
living spare room of Fathering?

Was He the breaking of every woman's heart,
this saviour whose name we and so many fight
and sing about? The savior who entered

on a donkey over palms into the city?
Was he slipped through veiled deceit,
mother's intent basket weaving her Son's

place in the palace? His life spared by her
hand? Was she slipped through veiled deceit,
planned arrangement non-Judaic, to the King's

side, Esther bride? Is my life the lie, the lie,
the deceitful lie, the lie He was not my father but only a
seated king, pawned to release the family i keep together?

He was the dropped One. The dropped Apple.
And who am I to him, that removed body, my body kept
removed from every natural arrangement

that could have been, and is now eternal awkwardness,
for the deceit of spiritual intent and kept priorities to survive
at all costs, weaving intentions to the slavery of ONE

survival. If only growing my hair out or shaving my head
or tattooing every stretch of skin and cutting every artery
known to me would make up for the damning sorrow.

Is addictive behavior
linked to impatience?
Is that trait con-
sis-tent in those who
abuse substances.
How fast--at what point
--how close is
hopelessness to
impatience?

Archive the earthquakes before they occur, since our earth is stammering to be heard by us abusing its substances; impatient to know its heaven isn't what we imagine, but is its body sharing the moods of death and life and stones in caves man contracts to own with itself: the Great Example of Watch Out, I'll rock you, so stand over there so your heart may beat with mine.

B68. Fighting for my

Selfishness, the cord around my neck,
blaming Mother's loving me anew;
Calling as a seagull cries the deck
beneath "Beneath!" when all above is blue;
Pulling for a welcome, dragging Anchor's
Chain like the sea is shallow hoping
Land again blowing thick a rain core
veiled in fog's desire, shushing, roping
Reason’s Cape—Horn’s pointed fire sounding
Raze! The main sail's crushing Selfishness
is true, as white caps risen foam is rounding
You, m-my mother, singular storm of levity,
I wrest my winging bird of blood, and homing
dawn, rise early from yawn’s My of roaming.

B67. Unfurled Fetus

As I grew my brain inside my mother
who became the person of my other
self unrecognized, as lipstick drawn on me
to show the part that didn't come to be
allowed as what it was—myself—j-just one
and nothing more, but nothing less than sun
shining that fact of being—stretched out womb
on sand that's hot and cool and wet and home
to crabs scurry-hide, my spider room,
my seeing eyes and ducking tomb of One
Just me, and nothing more than deity rises
two my feet, as dirt unfurled in vices
gripped by fetus curls, and screams unlined
by lips defined in smile’s smothering—Mine!

Betrothed—His lover, naked

The Spanish Woman

8 July 2009 at 11:41pm

is my full smile, my full figure, my full plate, my red blood, my brown skin, my warm, warm, warm, deep loving.

The English Woman
is my narrow waist, my round abdomen, my small lip, my tall words, my kind smile, my measured portions, my courage, my unbending loyalty.

The Irish Woman
is my hell with it, my raucous laughter, my naughty humor, my dukes up for my family, my deft slip-you-a-drink or a fiver because you don't know you need it.

The French Woman
is my extravagant knowing I am everything I ever want to be and nothing like you, my signature my controlled savagery, my controlled sensuality, my scent the imagined splendor of every passionate bouquet that is the old woman I am becoming, more beautiful and longed for and loved and lived to be the entire self I am, this French Woman I am now.

The American Woman
is my discontent, speaking to herself the appreciation she knows must be greater than an election every four years, and a parting of ways, a parting of seas.

The African Woman
is my artist wandering, listening toward a society that is tumult, is wild pets, narrow escapes, impossible size and browns and greens and terrific pictures, my precocious eavesdropping to stories I do not want to escape they are so magnetic.

The English Woman
is back, plumping pillows while I type, and interjecting, "Who is your Chinese Woman, your Norwegian Woman, your German Woman? Who is your Canadian Woman? Yes. I am not all world, my blood the rain, but I know that it rains everywhere, so I will know everywhere soon enough.

wearing the instrument (yet to be wrung)

7 July 2009 at 9:31am

that steps on pedals
making petals in the ears and fragrance
in the heart's wearing, the instrument
wearing me. The airs pulled
and stopped with small levers'
range. The range of height and openings
of thought and noise and tones
that continue, continue, given
to cathedrals, they are so large,
worthy of ringing, as bells in towers
known and heard by those in fields,
laboring under and alongside the earth's
turning, wearing, instruments of humanity
side by side
pulled and stopped and pressed and run
and stepped, gently down, up again,
sustained as
the tone Of
an organ.

B63. This trunk

of tobacco makes
lichen of my breath
scaling papers of smoke,

the family,

reunions in tobacco fields
in the house built two
rooms at a time, front
to back, kitchen and bedroom
connected across
from tobacco fields;
children trundle into the needed

extra rooms, built two and
three at a time; the out-
house, a two-seater, separate
in the dark, cold, necessary location,
away from the fields
and barn, and cool porch below
the second story

built above the first;
trunks of clothes
and hats, men and women's church whimsies
show the farm, and we,
I taste ambrosia from the kitchen
of my great-great-grannie Maggie's
lifetime, the last breath of her being sound

from her hands holding
a harmonica to her mouth,
breathing for me, the promise
of trees in blood unscaled,
and unscathed by to b. ac-
co- smoking
papers.
