The Shirt that I Named

It has been five years since I
Dropped my eyes in a tinted vase. Every
Thing azul. The crook of your
Arm bruised blue. And the
Shirt that I named Ophelia.

The Anvil

A cube was never meant to make one
Shrink. The atrophy. Made mad by
The mad. The matriarch. O medicine woman,
Why can't you lift the anvil? Under the crippled
Canopy I can hardly think.
