Waiting for the Death			

its sent e mail that
its on its way

video tapes, cd's.
Who knows where death is,

in a lily opening, in
the palest cherry leaves?

Is it hiding out
behind the heart or

the liver? Is it
pink as a mouth

or nipple? Heart muscles
become flooded,

floppy. Is this
where the soul, slippery,

the lovers you can't
pin down is

soaking up 
what it can in the

stillness, somehow
planning for a

long trip?


The Oxford English Dictionary defines REPAIR:

concourse or confluence of people at or in a place; resort, frequent or habitual going; making one's way; to arrive; to dwell; to heal, to cure, to recover; to renew; (AND!)
to fix to original condition.

LYN LIFSHIN
First Day, April 1, of Magnolias			

and dying by noon,
the pale cherry

bulges. Candles
in Notre Dame

someone will smash
a ring, smoke

go pewter. When
a body fails

like a marriage,
its so quiet you

think you hear death
whisper, sing

Rooms behind the 
windows, a special

bed, a last
breath trapped

inside, a bird
trapped in the tree

Imagine That Other April			

wasn't as blurred as the
photographs you took with a
glazed lens at 3 am when 
I realized what we'd built up
to for three years wasn't
happening. There were 
nights we could have moved
into each other's life. A
dry kiss was all, the rest hardly
mattered. Alone, I waited, 
went over each move, what I
should have done with my
leather jacket. There was nothing
more to say that dawn either
hurtful or true. On my own
coast, I made up stories why I
didn't hear from you. I got
a new cat and went to France. 
Now you are coming to my town
and I want you, someone, any
one out there who knows 
this story couldn't have a good 
ending to listen, please, keep
me oblivious
