The Queen
January 13, 2012
Of inferior dirt
they call her thriving
a green queen among the withered weeds
pursuing apples rotted, sun-dried seeds
gourged with possom teeth
and grinning wide as the Atlantic
Her knuckles are bitten raw
bowing letters and postage stamps
to stocking-footed men
If she’s done it once, she’s done it twice before
Then,
how now my mousy, matted friend
smeared black with pitch and maple leaves
The winter is dead, and so are you.
