Bobbi Lurie

arriving as disturbance

my red velvet coat

i never wore

you out

even with the powdered wig

the computations of orbits

isn’t it amazing how our bodies

once were optic flowers

magnetized and zipper-skulled

west in peace

how lame you are to me

draught dummy head

cradled in ribs and cold black stone

yield no sweat

eternity sees with dead eyes

the light and dark each thing provides
