23 August 2013

very close, very wet

very close, very wet
The river floods.
Tamarind seeds do not sprout.
Supermarket-roasted chicken falls apart.
I use toilet paper to blow my nose.

But we have a new bar of soap.
A healthy heart beats inside the dirty girl.
A silver blaze rides the haunch of a dark grizzly.
I lie awake in the glow,

the bright mystery
of who I was
between Junes.

Full moon at perigee.
