forget beauty - The Lawrentian
forget beauty, I want to blend with the sky when it’s dark and grey but the sun is lighting up from behind and there’s iced green tea in a woman’s hand and not far away there’s two people falling in love, or off a cliff, or into each other. forget beauty, I want the moon when it looks like a shellscape and the pale pink clouds cling to the blue floating like birds. I want to eat the whole world, and consume it into my ravenous belly. remember how the rain sounded when we were children?
innocent crayons in the gutter – The Lawrentian
the markers didn’t know they were marking time. as the green and yellow colors colored my hands and belly. and the picture my mom took of me on the table in Milwaukee would somehow stand the test of time. we lost so many pictures but we didn’t lose that one. I should confess that the markers were actually paint but their effect was the same. I wonder how many art supplies got lost or thrown out.

I met a tornado on the bridge – The Lawrentian
I met a tornado on the bridge The river, my friend, stared back: “Why did you think I’d be gentle?” Knowing the river, I smiled a laugh. That smile was torn from my face Tossed back to the river, Those eyelids spread open, like wings Fleeing the winding wrath. The tornado was lonely She wanted, she asked But the only sound that I heard: The hissing of leaves at my back.
The coffee was my lover – The Lawrentian
The coffee was my lover She held me when I held her, Kissed my mouth, burned my tongue Cupped in a cup in my hand.

They say for the lovers “‘Til death do us part,” But when my lips parted She left me with nothing But thirst.

Towards the end of winter break I had the privilege of reading Anne Carson’s book “Men in the Off Hours.” Published in 2000, Carson’s book is full of poetry and creative nonfiction essays that mesh together people, place and time in an unexpected and historically impossible way. It’s a delight for anyone interested in anything — literature, history, philosophy, feminism and the art of writing in general.
