POEM FROM DRAGONS BREATH

Rolling, cast adrift,

As if she could just

mount him

Dam, dadadam,

Rocking, waltzing

Dadadambambam

Without mooring, in endless water, snowmeltingly sliding

Dam, dadadam

The high windows throw light

at her hips rocking

Bambam!

And the dark bookcases

raise their eyebrows

Dam, dadadam

Where the day enters and

she comes apart

Dam … dam

Applecheek, pearly skin

Dadadambambam

Towerclimbing, stairsliding

in the elastic swing of the thighs

Dadadam

Armchair, coils pulsating and

crowding in the small entrance

to the harbor

bambam

Humming, to land, a pram

On long, round wawes

Dada … bambambam
