Her uncle’s name was Alice
His mother lost three daughters in the war
They all
...........Exploded
........................Hard
(Into holes)
And left her with a piece of mind like Swiss

Journalissimo!
Stop me a while
I am redolent of cigarettes
And I flicker white and octagon red
As the clock strikes Vespas

I examine my hands closely.

From childhood I have glanced at them from
time

to

time
to check on progress
to catch myself in the act of changing.

They were bigger every time I looked.

They are done with that now.

and now, a villanelle!



On Idleness

Upon a bed of dreams I lay
Watching him draw on a cigarette
Careless of his crafty way

Lit in sunshine's playful ray
His shiftily handsome silhouette
Upon a bed of dreams I lay

And thus I whiled away the day
Snarled in the coverlet
Careless of his crafty way

Too soon his passions went astray
And still, his half-poisoned Juliet
Upon a bed of dreams I lay

Unwelcome thoughts I kept at bay
Dismissing their words as idle threat
Careless of his crafty way

My tongue knows words enough to pray
But God hath forsaken my alphabet
Upon a bed of dreams I lay
Careless of his crafty way.
