THE TARRED AND FEATHERED HEART

I will hold your tears.
The smell of elephants. And the worms

on the sidewalk turned
to squirming sterling by the moon. In here

I'm bloody and naked
and breathing your darkness, but there's

also a song dipped
into the tar of night and brought

back up on soft, white wings. A muffled
lullaby. Never

hesitate to desire. There
is a kind of sufferng like peace

and, inside you, it wants to fly.

(in Fire and Flowers, 1998)
