Fire
give me an ancient song
and Iâll give you a forbidden light
syllables that slide from front teeth
as backdrop for gods to grow colors
from pinpricks into calligraphic prints
of my mother
she is not the sun
she is what comes after: you
are made in her image
are dancing in her clothes
my wild hair
in the spring wind glows
I carve shadows at the ground
beneath your feet
Lunacy
I will not be a crazy womanâ
your masterpieceâ whatever that means.
I do not revere lunacy
the art of subjugation in full moonlight:
you want me framed my brain and belly
on your wall dance in separate directions.
The artist paints around an abandoned bonfire
to glorify himself composed of canonical books.
But I do not revere gold leaf paper flames swirl
your self-obsession up in a gust of cold air.
I cannot sit still I melt slowly
for portraits like soft leather bindings.
