Later,
when blood and eggs and breasts
...
I am tearing the feathers out of the pillows,
waiting, waiting for Daddy to come home
...
Husband, mad hammer, man of force.
This last week has been our divorce.
Thumbs grow into my throat.
I wear slaps like a spot of rouge.
And within the house
ashes are being stuffed into my marriage,
...
None of them has
the sense of evil that I have,
evil that jaw breaker,
that word-wife.
Suppertime I float toward you
from the stewpot
holding poems you shrug off
and you kiss me like a mosquito.
