her brilliant air of cavalier despair,
her train of children?some conceived in sin,
the others to avoid it. For nowhere
is evidence of...

as though she has always just been washed,
and there is a dull obedience to convention
in her accommodating slenderness
as she feints at her salad.

over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.
Before me I see countless writhing rows

"Lizzie Borden took an axe,

she said,
here I bury my dead,
you can hear them sleeping
somnulent forget-me-nots,
snoring blithely unaware,

expunged and
wrung out
eventually,
not totally oblivious,

revelling sprites dark pearls
Corvidae shades

highly functioning
dysfunctional plural
morphing unobserved
perceived non-unique

more black and grey
than white spills
from their eyes
light from their shining
hidden away
