FOR BAILEYA
-
We were entwined in red ringsB
Of blood and loneliness beforeC
The first snows fellD
Before muddy rivers seeded cloudsE
Above a virgin forest andF
Men ran naked blue and blackG
Skinned into the warm embracesH
Of Sheba Eve and LilithI
I was your sisterJ
-
You left me to force strangersK
Into brother molds exactingL
Taxations they neverJ
Owed or could ever payM
-
You fought to die thinkingL
In destruction lies the seedN
Of birth You may be rightO
-
I will remember silent walks inP
Southern woods and long talksQ
In low voicesR
Shielding meaning from the big earsS
Of overcurious adultsT
-
You may be rightO
Your slow return fromU
Regions of terror and bloodyA
Screams races my heartV
I hear again the laughterJ
Of children and see firefliesW
Bursting tiny explosions inP
An Arkansas twilightO
