After The Funeral
I saw a possum striding along the edge of a fence
its body soft as a wasp’s nest.
It was shaped
like a wasp’s nest. And it buzzed as if it were
full of wasps.
The possum was pregnant. And then
I thought the possum knew me. I thought, for a moment
that it was you. And I was afraid. I was afraid that you
would tell me something. And that I wouldn’t be able
to handle it. I could see the possum’s
stomach was a paper bag and it was full
of wasps. When I placed my hand on the possum’s stomach
I felt the wasps. The possum
was sick. It rolled on its back & shook. It quivered
in the black leaves.
I could hear the wasps singing. They were gold and
vermilion and each note
burned like oil.
The possum’s stomach was taut & moving, bubbling
like water. The possum’s stomach
was cracking like old paint
and milk appeared in the cracks and it was not just wet
but molten.
And then the light in the meadow began to thicken
and fill up with yellow
it was like a glass of water that a cigarette
has been placed in
I could see the flakes of ash, the hard white flakes
turning to cream.
The yellow ash floated in the breeze. And the possum’s
belly was yellow too
like the withered insides of a lemon.
When I woke up, the meadow smelled like rotten fruit
& there were moths, many millions of them, swimming
up from a hole
the size of infant’s head. And each of the moths
was a petal of flame
and left trails of flame in the bracken air.

What happened to her?
Her gypsy fingers, her mint cigarettes; her
always trembling. Sitting in her silver-veined
Subaru
wearing an old fox: she
never went in.
Him: a jittery blonde, goofed up
hand held up
to staunch the bleeding. That’s what I heard.
That’s what I believe.
Two burnouts in love. “I heard they settled down, started
a yard sale, settled down, started
another tryst.” |
