Poems
May 2013
The sound of their silence
All the boys and girls I had ever kissed were screaming together in a chorus, lipless, with open mouths, sharp little red teeth, gnashing.
In my head
In my head
And then I went to the green woods
For solitude and silence, and shame
And there, under the green boughs
I pulled the curtains of membranes
under their tongues, and my own,
over their heads, with thread
I needled, sewing up mouths
then I kisssd their faces like their mother, "goodnight"
and then they were mute,
and only could whimper
and then I left,
feeling
, yes
