St. Catharines light in the afternoon: lead oxide, pink white, dry mud shadows. They lay on her living room carpet and Anthony gloated over Milly Her cotton nightgown, her long back, and round shoulders: proof at last. "So this is gloating. It is better to gloat than to doubt. It took me a long time." Her clean faded quilt brought from the balcony rail: it Smells of clean laundry and cold air and the thrill of their power. He’s proud to be the lover of a heroine, And happy that he can see her this way.” Picnic kisses tasting of smoked oysters and beer. There were never friendly kisses of love before? "Milly, I love hearing how you defied the adults." He told Hansel and Gretel to her child, who had strep throat, And told it again, knowing it would work, Seeing the bookshelves, seeing her notebooks, Knowing that he would have his life after all: The mispronounced words of a solitary reader, The red skirt on the chair, the gold necklace of coins.

Milly has a candy house What an invisible little house Milly told me it was not a solitude It was a gift from the childhood Milly painted it red and blue With her little scalpel See, All the puppets were doomed Milly danced to her favourite tango and suddenly all the puppets sang to the moon “It’s late, Milly you should go to bed.” Milly heard that “Milly please don’t be sad” Puppets turned to candies and said “See you again” Milly’s candy house and her little friends

I used to work with a guy A good friend of mine He was as sharp as anyone I knew Nobody's fool at all With laser eyes and brain He missed nothing A hard and shrewd man was he In his slightly younger days He had been a member of the Samurai The local biker gang He used to go around With a dead mouse sewn To the shoulder of his leather jacket Doing the things that bikers do One day we were hand packing Half a dozen or so of us Working quietly, for once All of us elsewhere in our heads It's the only way to cope with the boredom Steve was next to me and I heard him Singing to himself unaware of listeners And what was this shrewd hard man singing?

I gaze into the distance, silhouettes of cranes stand elegantly on crystal water. Behind me, moonlit mountains crouch with their caves and rocks. And the spirits, charged atoms, flutter with the wind. Beneath me, only hope, immortal like Styx cracked beckoning as I cross to that other time. I search for my dreams, one lost between dark branches. But in vain; battle, battle, clammer, gather, go, I am still…. To fall into the rupturing sky. -milly and jonte

The gun at my hip is ready to make you disappear, The club your ancestor loved is no match for mind I run, Think you’ve got the better of me, Let’s wait and see who welcomes another day of agony, Life is rough and resembles damnation, From conception, Making it to your twenty’s, ******* impressive, I would have aborted your *** Just a dramatic demon, Despite the deaths of other humans, Across the ocean, Far from where I hide, Far from where I can see, Where I would mind, Out of sight, A place where the bodies lay, Where militaries fill graves, Land of the free, land of the incubated, Indoctrinated, Intoxicated, Belated by your brutality, Why do you think I reach for my 9 milly’ Betrayed by your humanity, Why do you think my trust in you diminished? Because you are ******* human, And Darwin wasn’t dimwitted, Ignorance graced by intellectually \ lives, Sprinkled amongst the ash, However I feel like I should last, What was I talking about? That’s right your demise, At the hands of you despise, But this shouldn’t be a surprise, Since you spawned this stupid stride, I feel like picking on those who can’t find their way out of a compromise, I don’t mean to pry, But your confessional is so humanly inviting, I’ve gotta criticize your justifications for the way you live a life, The fact you can’t forget the dollar, The fact you still pop a collar, Who the **** do you think you are, You are just a bump in the modern mold, What am I saying?

Saturdays we left for epic adventures
Through snow capped Kashmiri mountains Falling in love amid flowering Swiss fields Dancing wildly in dimly lit Spanish bars After two hours we'd stop for Intermission For fried pakoras and warm ketchup Or cold chai spiced with Milly Aunty's gossip as old as the stained theater seats From Monday to Friday we’d work In offices in warehouses in farmyards Until late nights became early mornings
And our bowed heads kissed concrete With our eyes blind & our ears deaf silently waiting for our stars to come

We stood, Auntie's dog Dancer and me, on the black metal balcony looking at the soldiers marching on the parade ground over the way; sergeants bellowing at marching feet and turned heads. Dancer wined. I stared. Elsie walked past on edge of the parade ground looking at the soldiers; her small face unsmiling, her eyes peering. Slowly she climbed the black metal stairs up to the balcony. Dancer turned and growled; I stood watching her climb. She was Auntie's friend Milly's 5 year old daughter, a bit older than I was. She stood on the top step and stared at us both: will he bite? She said. No he won't bite, he just growls, I said. She walked towards us gingerly, her eyes glaring at Dancer, who looked away and watched the soldiers again through the bars of the balcony. She stood next to me: Mum said I can play with you if I want to, Elsie said, but not to get into mischief, her voice was moany. I never get into mischief, I said. Elsie stared at me. Mum said you climbed under one of those gates back there with your dog, and was climbing a window looking at soldiers in a classroom, Elsie said matter of factly. Who told you? I said. Mum said she heard it from a sergeant, but never told your auntie in case you got into trouble, Elsie said, her eyes studying me. O, yes I remember that, I said; what shall we play? She looked at the balcony, then the dog, then at me. Why didn't you tell your auntie? She said. Don't like worrying people, I said. She looked down at the parade ground: the soldiers were falling out and walking off. What do you want to play? I said. Not sure I want to play with boys who get into mischief, she said, then she walked away and down the stairs. I played with the dog Dancer instead.

My name is Milly Aswillbe, I wish there was just one of me, But in fact, there’s twenty-three, Each takes their time and place To occupy my frame and face, And have their stint upon the stage Being good or madly rage Or being sweet and kind Or being wild and speak their mind, Each has a different name from mine One of which is Cassy Kline, But each is odd to some degree, For each is some part of me.
