You are my Granite Soul
Elizabeth!
You are the queen
of my golden age
you were younger
than me, my now 39,
before you gave up
on womanhood ,
children,
and romantic love
long hair is only
long for long
and entertainment,
plays, comedy
and music
can only start
and end
( requiem means
“mass for the repose
of the dead,”
after all)
I never was
at my sister’s funeral
nor part of her
requiem
or celebration.
She still laughs
with me
at bad jokes
(in my mind)
and her laugh
was groundbreaking
and life-affirming!
I remember
the quills,
the copycats,
the dirty streets,
the tangibility
of too many mistakes
of white-lead beauty
and trying humor
of timeless history
and strong women
with or without
curtains of fabric
and heavy,
corseted fashion
and those looser
and tight-bound
socialites
who had more or less
fun, unstrung
your ladies in waiting
may cry, but you
will not
My hair is oily
after three days
of teaching and
no shower,
and I don’t like
mirrors
on Mondays
when I am not
made of hard stuff,
stone, or granite
“wearing the face
that she keeps
in the jar
by the door”
I am not
Elenor Rigby
To be married,
unflinchingly,
to England
outlives emotion
like the granite
of Mount Rushmore
(the requiem
cries your name,
as would Mozart,
a less durable artist
whom it hurts to
hear, sometimes)
whose work
poured out
faster than blood,
and it killed him.
“I have become
a virgin” Cate
Blanchett
confesses after
shearing her head
of hair.
The puritans were shorn
unwillingly and blood
stained the blood
rinsed in water.
They went
from water
to coughing fire
to be worshipped
as the Virgin Mary was
one must become
more than woman,
more than man,
immovably
inhuman
Elizabeth,
let lesser
women
respond as men
think women do.
You are
my granite soul.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a colorful garden where nature blooms.
At your call, I rise tall and dulcet in red looms.
My flowers are trumpet-shaped and clear.
I am a Hibiscus, an iconic flower, comely dear.
Akin to Eden, I bedizen earth with an exotic zest
Birds, bees, and butterflies join to sip my digest.
A burst of hues, lambent views, in a yard of sate.
Wildlife dances comely by the scene, full of cate.
My time is short, for I fall soon after I bloom.
Above my grace, my life doesn't cease in doom.
My petals hold peculiar cures beyond compare.
My teas and pills ease pain and pressure, so rare.
You reminded me again, not to be late.
That I shouldn't let you hate.
What we have because it's delicate.
That you are fed up, trying to put me upright.
Talking about how much money I waste.
On things that ain't important.
Some that I buy off the internet.
Not to mention, going out on dates.
With group mates, accumulating debts.
Like earning money is a copy and paste.
That you are done with me not being straight.
So you are gonna leave and I will regret.
Because I don't seem to have learnt.
Ever since we met
So I made it simple enough not to complicate.
I talked to immaculate.
And asked her to review my monthly budget.
I blocked Margret.
I told Sarah to talk to Cate.
And tell her never to show up again at our gate.
I told you Peace is a friend, just like fortunate.
Shamim is my workmate same to Annet
And sometimes our bosses ask us to collaborate.
On some projects that's why I have to work late.
With Esther, Fauster and Bridget.
I am not always really out on a date of late.
And not to forget.
Shalom has got Jophet.
Who was my classmate.
So I wouldn't really want to interrupt.
What they have got.
Their relationship is perfect.
Remember the last time we met
In studio, I had to vacate.
Because I didn't want another upset.
Back at home with my soulmate.
Because of a compliment.
Or a comment that would make us fight.
Set us apart and have us separate.
I dearly love and cherish you my sweetheart.

Youth renewed, Young-a-fy,
Changed In the Twinkling of an eye!
Zion’s Girls, take to the sky,
Daughters of the King!
Just one last kiss, my little stotty-cake!
You are my cate, my sweetmeat, dainty dish.
Be happy, hinnie, for your "Old Man"'s sake.
You've made me happier than I could have wished.
My sugar dumpling, custard, treacle tart!
Let's part with smiles, and try to hide the ache.
It couldn't last - we knew that from the start.
For us, there'll be no happy ever after.
Go off, embrace your future. Love and thrive.
This thing, this fling, was just a young girl's dream.
It was a pudding "de nouvelle cuisine"
- that's short and sweet - but how we raised the rafters!
Remember me. And, (if I'm still alive!)
I'll often think of you with love. And laughter.
