the way my body
encapsulates the fear
digs jagged fingerclaws into
the meat of its why
enshrines and venerates it
until it is as a god
ghosts of its fury
my only companions
such that today
and last march
and summer oh four
are all now
and upon me
the evershroud of my youth

IF I MIGHT SEE ANOTHER SPRING
If I might see another Spring
I’d not plant summer flowers and wait:
I’d have my crocuses at once
My leafless pink mezereons,
My chill-veined snow-drops, choicer yet
My white or azure violet,
Leaf-nested primrose; anything
To blow at once, not late.
If I might see another Spring
I’d listen to the daylight birds
That build their nests and pair and sing,
Nor wait for mateless nightingale;
I’d listen to the lusty herds,
The ewes with lambs as white as snow,
I’d find out music in the hail
And all the winds that blow.
If I might see another Spring –
Oh stinging comment on my past
That all my past results in ‘if’ –
If I might see another Spring
I’d laugh today, today is brief
I would not wait for anything:
I’d use today that cannot last,
Be glad today and sing.
Christina Georgina Rossetti
5 December 1830 – 29 December 1894, London

i neither believe
nor disbelieve
in the multiverse
i just like the idea
that if you can’t explain flour
why should i agree to cake

i was told to make
my blueness threefold
so i learned
to dream
only of water
i woke myself
clothed in sky
and then
i blew dry
(blaue drei)
the wet of kiss
with too many
gentle tears
of also knowing

if you have to
sleep with your shoes
under your head
chances are
you did not
make it home
