Saturday Matinee

Saturday Matinee

A Poem by Marian Elizabeth

I have seen a dead calf once

In a movie

Wet, a newborn

Almost releasing smoke

Almost deformed or so

Mixed with hay

Lying on it

Absorbing it

With mother’s remains of blood.

I was drunk and eating cereal

And my hands forsake the bowl.
