Bazaar

vii

At the marketplace
She is swallowed
Even as she enters

Drawn into the core of it
She succumbs to its spirit

And wastes, not a moment
Sampling
The various fruits that she finds

She’ll taste the musky flesh
Of those from the warmer climes
Ignoring the sticky drip
That travels her chin

She’ll savor the sharp acrid sting
Of the Northerland offerings
Reveling in the terse sour shudder
A most bitter pleasure

Discover fabrics
In colors and prints
Scarcely remembered

In textures
Only dreamt of

She’ll don a brides’ lace
Meant to be worn
But once

And try on the silks
Smooth and sweet
As a virginal sigh

But, hasn’t the resource to retain
Even the simple rough broadcloth
That savages the skin
And abuses the nipples

"In looking Northward, I see a light"

That was really interesting. I liked how you told it as if it was a story. Very well done!

and she passes the gate finally!
the drooling for fruit
of a different kind
and attempting to hide
beneath that very same cloth
she cannot afford
the ragged ones she wears
causing abrasions of her skin
are the ones which can only be
seen . . . and will

I am waiting for the next
turn . . .

when these are in print . . .
people will smile and say they
knew you

ssh

my brilliant man
astounding me with the travels
of this lost soul
not so lost
xxoo

I miss both Ed and Sue and their poetry.
