Click hereI am the luckiest girl in the world,
no one would know it of course
because that is how it usually goes
behind heavy doors
upon cold steel
or down pillows
after pronouns have fallen
into sleep
and silence
we jump off splintered docks
iron oxide nail stains
tannic acid brown skin
tastes of fish milt
released over egg masses
kicking sole flapping
summer stained chuck taylors
over flat dock peninsula
into quieter waters

"we jump off splintered docks

I think this is the strongest section of your poem because it paints a particularly sharp visual.
jthserraabout 20 years agobut I have some difficulty seeing the connection between the first stanza and the rest of the poem. I may be missing something, but it seemed like 2 poems, the second was very good. Combined I am a bit befuddled.

sandspikeabout 20 years agoI like the way it reads but it seems to be 2 poems in one.
It is like my present followed by youth.
