Mad Maria

...pon her breast
Proves her blessed of the blest.

So she sings her little song,
Happy as the day is long,
hunting in her camisole
Shy partakers of her dole;
thinking: Heaven please forgive -
Even lice have leave to live;
(But sweet Reader, do not blame,
For she kills them just the same.)

Mad Maria goes unchid,

But when wrath of Heaven smites
Hosts of Mammon's parasites,

The sheers undrawn, the heavens hardly showing,

The Gift

...er Long Beach on a late Sunday in September. She gave him zinnias 
 and cosmos in the plenitude of July. 
He gave her a camisole and a brooch. She gave him a cover and a break. 
He gave her Venice, Florida. She gave him Rome, New York. 
He gave her a false sense of security. She gave him a true sense of uncertainty. 
He gave her the finger. She gave him what for. 
He gave her a black eye. She gave him a divorce. 
He gave her a steak for her black eye. She gave him his money b...Read more of this...
