4tete/#68/Carpe Noche
Renascent
rescued from marriage by
divorce she unpuckers rouged
mouth to receive a
rose to tango
Extreme unction
patchouli oil rubbed in
to limbs nipples throat
cadre of existence
He briefcases to office
Surrogate wife silently mouths good
bye No dogs no cats
their pirate parrot Petey patters
go to hell
go to
hell go
to
h

l
l
Mary go
round refracts
undulates cheek
to cheek with Afro-
Latin impresario
Poncho Sanchez giving up
the beat
Vampires other night owls
slink in rhythm
like Eve's serpent the whine
of July fireworks the priestly
blessing on Yom Kippur
asparagus in spring
She dances in astral sky
a bat bird plane
flying fish
a woman
not an angel
