Poem Title:
Poem
after Sue Owen Born from flour anointed with oil, from a roux dark and mean as a horse’s breath, you remind me of some strange, mystical stew spawned from a muddy version of Macbeth. Only someone’s replaced the spells with spices, the witches with a Cajun chef. Maybe you’re a recipe torn from Satan’s Cookbook, a kind of dumb-downed devil’s brew where evil stirs its wicked spoon in a swampy sacrificial hue. Maybe God damned the okra that thickens your soup, the muddy bones that haunt your stew. Maybe this is why, when we smell the cayenne, we’re struck dumb as a moth. Maybe this is why everything that crawls or flies seems to find its way into your swampy broth.
