PROPER DISPOSAL OF HOLY WATER
When I purge the abscess of a girlhood
I am heavier a female.
Thick lips belch the zeros
of my previous condition.
The headmistress of space and time
lavishes gravity like a bear.
You can be blessed at every altar
and a grunt in waking life
but I am one woman now
from scalp to toenails
teeth to pussy.
This new opacity makes the misplaced years
my entire education seem an imp
a hollow tool
really gone.
On to piss the fountains
bust through my smocks
in gleeful fat and torpor.
The harp of the flesh is no illusion
or phenomenon reserved for babies.
Rain in every hole
butter on each finger
in every breast a spit of felines
once you stop the search.
Donât go
to the swamps for medicine
or to the streams with eyes on elixir
but into the balm of your own robe.
After the family hatchet
the black air of schoolmates
who said serenity in withered books
miles of that river drain.
