For Hunger - Margaret Ronda

Nocturne
What comprised me, drew me in. The wind in the dark, in staccato.
When the neighbor’s light burned out, darkness seared my body, its color glaring on the tongue.
A trespass on attention, like a knock at the pane.
From sleep, the boy calls out, there’s a robber in my room!
But not the robber-girl, with her hundred pigeons and shiny knife, the robbers’ greedy eyes. ’Tis gold, ’Tis gold!
A word flinty and red at the core. You resemble the dark.
Is it the wind at the gate? Or only a hungry child sleeping in a story?
Sonnet
to catch a weather and mother it quiet
to cradle the gullfeather in an electric net
to cull from the spindle a dress of gold flax
to blacken the mouth of drowsy indolence
to resort at last to impossible measures
to rue the breath’s frail-slurred murmur
to rescue blight from the ice-stunned orange
to patch up each almanac teary and
