LYN LIFSHIN
Forsythia			

all night wind blew
branches into the house

loud as horses in
blackness. A

dark dream of
death. Or worse,

something without
a name, your breath and

the cats warmth
couldn't warm me. 

Sound of trees, the
clock. Season

of cruelty. In the 
morning the black

hangs on like a 
lover who leaves 

traces. Only the
forsythia exploding

into sun seems
like something new

Like a Blues Singer			

moaning under the ground,
bottle of whiskey on the grave.
Your e mail dogs me
all dark Monday

you're falling east
and I'm finally not panting,
don't need my mojo
or a black cat bone

to not call out your name
in the I-can't-ever-have-of
you. If I don't change the
lock in blood I'll mail

you the keys in the drawers. 
It's already like money burning
in a pocket. I could have
used more than that that other

April. Now you're words 
on each line, one broken up
like any bad connection. Could
be like the one early cherry

having over the Tidal Basin
sign of what's ahead

The Blues Ain't Nothing			

But a good,
why is it always,

a woman? How
come bad love makes

the song shimmy?
Love in vain, a

glittery black so
sleek it mirrors what

you want. Follow
me down baby, won't

you? I'd do
anything if

you just
