Joanna M. Weston

TIME-WARP


The day we stood beside the Frazer

I tried to drink from a bowl

with my arms around you ---

you laughed into my hair

as warm coffee slid over your back

like a second skin in sunlight


Today we sit

one each side of the table

and I pour coffee carefully

into your cup



THE LAST PLACE


an angel sleeps underground

and ties knots

in the bones of children


she folds glass wings

over small, quiet hands


the skulls have eyes

that watch the sky explode

to become scraps of flesh
