I am from<\/b><\/p>\n

Stars that reel<\/b><\/p>\n

Around boundless skies<\/b><\/p>\n

In tendrils<\/b><\/p>\n

Of pin-poked light holes<\/b><\/p>\n

That throb like minute heart beats;<\/b><\/p>\n

Inside the womb<\/b><\/p>\n

Of a half-eaten night<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I am from<\/b><\/p>\n

Dust that flickers and fans<\/b><\/p>\n

In tawny ribbons<\/b><\/p>\n

Of bright-eyed sunbeams;<\/b><\/p>\n

Dashing through<\/b><\/p>\n

The cosmos<\/b><\/p>\n

On muted, buoyant feet<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I am from<\/b><\/p>\n

Last night\u2019s bed,<\/b><\/p>\n

The evening\u2019s disciple,<\/b><\/p>\n

And an edgy, mislaid colloquy<\/b><\/p>\n

On a hung-over, half-bred morning;<\/b><\/p>\n

Drinking coffee<\/b><\/p>\n

In the shade of spirits long deceased<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0I am from<\/b><\/p>\n

The profit (and the pain) of lying in the childbed<\/b><\/p>\n

Markedly callow and unwitting;<\/b><\/p>\n

Striving to digest the enormity<\/b><\/p>\n

Of something so ostensibly small<\/b><\/p>\n

And helpless<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I am from<\/b><\/p>\n

The shards of shattered fables;<\/b><\/p>\n

Swept up into handfuls of jagged debris<\/b><\/p>\n

And emptied into the refuse<\/b><\/p>\n

Of a one parent domicile<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I am from<\/b><\/p>\n

A chronicle of womanly resolve<\/b><\/p>\n

Wound into snaky veins<\/b><\/p>\n

That traverse the backs of hands<\/b><\/p>\n

And legs<\/b><\/p>\n

As we voyage from blue collars,<\/b><\/p>\n

To white collars,<\/b><\/p>\n

To rainbow sprinkles<\/b><\/p>\n

On the tiptoes of an unbreakable dream<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
