SHE

Nothing is as it appears to be.

What is this aging? What am I to make

of these pale, brutal numbers? For a moment I’m fourteen.

The sky didn’t fall in, it fell out.

Men suck on their sugary black pistols

but the world isn’t ruled for a second.

The pen is mightier than the sword

only in the fretwork of a poet’s language.

At fourteen green was green and women

were the unreachable birds of night,

their fronts and backs telling us

we might not be alone in the universe,

their voices singing that the earth is female.

The humid summer night was as warm as birth,

and she swam out into the night beyond the dock light.
