Revel In The Tender Folds

Dyan Marie

Time generally being all over the place

then sharpened to a point on your angle

or resting on my curve and confidence

I live here in 2019, ticking, tick, tick, tick

eating blackberries, being the invasive species

stimulate an unsustainable, stability myth.

Watch the other action: fisherman make meaning

in the slit underside, revel in the tender folds

spread it wide open, gut glistened hands

read the entrails propitiously even as

the shadow swims away.
