from hot comb to him.A Poem by h d e rushin
I visited my friend Rachael whose husband left her for a younger
thinner woman. Oh, wondrous and unsurpassable felicity is/ She had slept on her face and her afro was flattened on one side; I can't, the ancestors say without a pick before heartache. So that's why 'Blue Magic' hair grease was left on the stoves edge. I refused to wonder. "So long as we are alive", I began my preach while the blue bellies of the male mourning doves sing for lovers on the dead branches of the pear tree in her yard. "he will return in an aberration, a streaky appearance produced by the earth crushing the perspective of a new moon". "When i'm moved", I tell her, and when the stars are alight in the night sky, I get but-naked and let my Talisemu dangle from my nakedness between him and home, between calm and the lawman. Between a body levitated in love and the long poem I wrote of you wearing those tan hose to cover the scars on your thighs. I visited my friend Rachael whose husband had left her for a younger, thinner woman. Then I drove home.
