Mary recalls the vacuuming
of bedroom cabernet sauvignon
and chocolate biscotti with Frank,

and some times she'd do a dry semen
lick and a promise with the vacuum
happily every morning after.

She scrubs some purple droplets
next to a diarrhea blemish
where mascara tears fell too

that fell again her blackest hour
Saturday when hospice said
it was time to call Father Mike.

Today upon her hands and knees
she thinks of love as sometimes thick,
sometimes sticky, mostly white,

and red hot lipstick stepped upon
when passion once leapt from the bed
on to a colored magic carpet.

Poignant

What a really lovely pair of poems. This one is so poignant and well judged.

I think it says far more about love than most overt love poems.

THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A MAGIC CARPET RIDE

more like a broom and dust pan

1201: I'm starting to think you're my editor. Good point. I see it now. Stanza 4 is gone on the master copy, and it's left to the reader's imagination or not at all.

outstanding

ranks pretty low on the sympathy grab scale

I repeat, outstanding, on the play here, dangerously close to the line, just the way I like it

fucking brutal in the same sense of trix's poem.

that is enough of me shaking my head today, (in amazement)

ps, be a little more careful here:

ranks pretty low on the sympathy grab scale
