quick
before the sun sets on this
field of fire
and the fresh air faces us
like a splinter
raise your skirts and
collapse your fists, you
primal-eyed
maidens of the night
we are
women of the future, our
broken hearts are
dead in a box, with
knees as delicate as
ants, we are
benevolent, we are
chic
we
keep looking
with mouths like penny ghosts
with our fables and our unfettered
questions and our freedom dangling like
wishes in plain sight, a swig of cheap wine
and a golden handkerchief, the fear of
our approaching wildness subtracting
new colors from
the sunsets
the clouds are dancing with their
shoes on and the
manic collective is at our feet
their fingers are
sticky
as apple pie, the strategies
of a forbidden hunger
to be hardened
to be eaten
to be the needle
