      Five Poems

      If I call myself unlovable, I am, practically; if I say itenough times: unlovable. Then, like practical magic, I’m hollow as old garlic; I’m distance-skinned.I’m a long, mean package, a terror-dyke, a nag, a squinting, slut-spun hag—it’s easy, really

      POEMS

      1. Dancing

      I have two left feet,

      but my man,

      he has two rights.

      Together we make it

      far across the floor,

      and back again...

      to the door.

      We can barely hear the music,

      as we are getting old,

      in our parts, but not our hearts

      we are wearing out.

      Yet the melody of time...

      lingers long enough in the after glow,

      to let us know we should never fear,

      being alone.

      The day is quiet now.

      You are gone,
