~Infidel~
She wants an earthquake
to come make the sun
appear to swing
in a car-blue sky.
Dinner plates
will hit the floor;
crash into half-moon shapes,
as she, with her confession,
cowers in a doorjamb, embraces
the interruption that has saved her
from a close encounter
with truth.
it's safer to see the
it's safer to
see the sun
appear to swing
in the deep blue sea
Car-Blue Skies
Better to erase the sun
and shoot-howl at the moon
when the earth is still
and feelings quake
Eat from broken glassware
drink from a stream of cowering
but always recall the day when
the moon was hunter round
and the earth refused to be quiet
