Veiled Sky Pulls Back
Revealing My Glowing Day
Dawning Underneath
My Daughters Eye Wear
On My Right Ring Finger
and My Left —
My Finger of Engagement
Is For Blonde Eliza:
Eye Made Her Up To Be
A Woman Who Could Do ANYTHING
(and She Would Have To Be Beautiful)
Her Turquoise Tear Drop
Is Set Between Two Tiny Diamonds —
She’s Coming Home
On My Father’s Birthday
To Stay Four Days.
Golden Maria Stays Forever
On My Right:
Her Unformed Heart
Is Eternal Strength —
She Is My Beautiful Dark Haired Woman
With The Most Melodious Voice
Who Appeared On My Right Shoulder —
Who Was Taken From My Womb
On My Mother’s Death Day —
Who Came To Me To Be Named.
These Two Women Are My Daughters:
One Light, One Dark
One To Have In Life, One In Death —
One Joy, One Comfort —
These Two Daughters
Are My Sacred Accessories
To MIND
My Work, My Fun
is conglomerated
packed inside
My House
like baby tiny spiders
hatching out
to live their fragile lives
in amongst the nooks
of My Exterior
Eye sat beneath
His Silver Tree
& heard a bird
I could not see —
I looked and looked
& heard some more —
then saw its yellow
fly off to Yore
My Captive of nineteen years ago
stood bedraggled
in the night time doorway
of His dank examining room
with Arms of Dishonour
extended
Eye wear regal fakery
on My Left Ring Finger —
solid gold
on My Right.
The World will be told
why
some time soon
if the parties involved
feel like it
Eye have had My Fill
of wedding rings
& long black hairs
dislodged from corners,
bed & bath
The man is Mine —
if He is a Man —
and I cannot live
the single life
With This Ring
Eye Thee Wed
Upon My Brother’s Chain
Around My Neck
I Am Thy Slave
Women are at least
as territorial as men,
and Eye run
a tight ship.
Eye may not want to
clean & cook for My Husband:
Eye fuck legally
