PROSE

A Wedding After All

Open the windows!

We can’t breathe, but

Stuff the rooms with breaths of flowers, It's a party!

Queen Anne had to decline --

The plague, you know --

But she sent her lace for the tables.

/

Look alive!

The Guests are hungry!

Let them eat thick cream,

Suck lemon slices, black chicken feathers

Let them fill their bellies on pollen

And a light spring breeze,

/

But they are hungry for love.

Entertain us!

Drip sweet kisses on command,

Tears like wine

To make us honeybee-drunk.

/

Now soft comes night,

And a gift is due.

We cross-hatch the arches of our feet

A little blood in your soil,

A little sorrow

For your corn

To grow tall.
