It had been raining for ten years— just after our vows too, when the life of the party shouted “Drop dead.” What aplomb! All those faithless Springs suddenly worthless. Years of abandonment counting for nothing. Oh horrors of enchantment, beauty of truculence. You can always depend upon the hostility of lovers But we, a glamorous, shuddering chorus, eyes averted, move en pointe past the confessional’s lurid glow, that peep-show of self-pity. Really, Mary! As if our holy yawns don’t prove we’re simply riddled with purity and will float softly, silently as the dreams of the inconsolable rhinoceri, pitiable as the tears of lost seagulls, sure as Adam’s apple pie, straight to heaven. The angels’ impatience says we’ve all prayed for too little and they can’t wait to scold us. God’s redecorating. He wants all his darlings back. Oh Frank. Have you missed us terribly, whom you never met? I picture your daily grand jeté over the sun, knowing the moon never tires of loving you. I long to change costumes and visit. Let’s see. Blandishments, pitchforks, foreskins. Well! But then Edward told me you had the longest he’d ever seen. My mother loved me so I got to keep mine, ensuring that there I would always be a goy. Just knowing that I’ve kissed lips that once kissed yours—but enough. Discretion is the better part of careerism. Now there is only one poet I love to read while dreaming.
