My Mother's Body
“A splash of blood on the floodlit needles.
The mice of the ashy dawn nibbled my salted eyelashes.
Outside, the rough gears of the world clanked on, bodies smashed on every spoke and sprocket oiling those grim wheels.
I dreamed your step, your warmth against my side and woke to see the weird grey stars of terror wheeling around the pole of midnight.
The tears I spouted sleepless nights, they are spangled on the grasses among the small webs like flimsy tents, now traps and prisms of the sun.
I am... entire, grafted together, satiated with you and shining inside and outside, a hot orange, liquid all through with joy.
Let me web and petal you with kisses, let me deck you with love baubles like a rich Christmas tree, hung with totems and birds and lights.
My love is peeled to its prickly bleeding quick. I want to lick you over like a mother cat.MoreLess
