I have ovaries for heads I am of two minds I am leaving the children in a burning bus Let me eat my mouth If it will make me forget The drowning horse that is wading through my chest Here a red penis Hangs from our dog, Poco It is a popped red tomato boiling in my throat Losing the weight Arranging a marriage My herds of goats trudge through lowly tangled power lines Oh children I tried To be sweet and provide Oh children this shame Has no language to name Oh children I tried To be sweet and provide Oh children this stain On my shirt has no name Rubbing the cumin The coconut jewelry I'm stringing the laundry, the little birds will peck it till it's dry The silence and breast The shirt and the dress I live in a star, the stroking lotion promise and its death Flogging my mother My master, my father A cherry Life Saver, melting in the heat of my mouth Beating my grandson With handfuls of sweet corn My uncle, my asthma, melting in the shoddy yellow house
