Imagine That April As Much a Start
(i)

as the blossoms today in
the Washington Post. 
Something on the verge
of opening. Imagine 
3 years of E-mail were
those forced lilies, picked
in a cold time and even
with snow, filling the house
with sun. If the first dry 
kiss after margaritas, was
not the only one. A few
days ago I couldn't tell if
the wild plum was over
or on the verge of opening.
Your E Mail this April,
after 3 more years turns my
skin rouge. I'm not sure
how to answer. The photo
graphs you took that last night
at 3 am blur all edges

LYN LIFSHIN
An April Since the Black Mare Eclipsed Terror


it was as if she
took me between the worlds
of the dead and the living

luminous, winged.
I was with her at the
table in the morning,
dreamt her all night

Some believe poets get
their inspiration from
encounter with flying horses,

that winged mares, black mares
received holy visions, 
punished the sinners

in old myths black horses
were feared, spurned.
Even now they are rare

among Arabian horses
since for years the Bedouins
slaughtered black

fouls at birth because
they are seen as bringing bad
luck especially by men

who recognize images of 
black mares as feminine
wisdom from the unconscious

Some Say He Knowss

we are paining,
pain as a verb

What is suffering?
will it fit in a bread box?

What language
does it sing?

would drugs help?
Does its nose, eerie

as birds trapped
inside a tree

scratching a way 
out hear

breath, a
cry?
