  Man and Wife

  Tamed by Miltown, we lie on Mother's bed;

学习啦在线学习网   the rising sun in war paint dyes us red;

学习啦在线学习网   in broad daylight her gilded bed-posts shine,

  abandoned, almost Dionysian.

  At last the trees are green on Marlborough Street,

  blossoms on our magnolia ignite

学习啦在线学习网   the morning with their murderous five days' white.

学习啦在线学习网   All night I've held your hand,

学习啦在线学习网   as if you had

学习啦在线学习网   a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad

  its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye

  and dragged me home alive. . . .Oh my Petite,

  clearest of all God's creatures, still all air and nerve:

学习啦在线学习网   you were in our twenties, and I,

学习啦在线学习网   once hand on glass

学习啦在线学习网   and heart in mouth,

学习啦在线学习网   outdrank the Rahvs in the heat

学习啦在线学习网   of Greenwich Village, fainting at your feet

  too boiled and shy

  and poker-faced to make a pass,

学习啦在线学习网   while the shrill verve

学习啦在线学习网   of your invective scorched the traditional South.

  Now twelve years later, you turn your back.

学习啦在线学习网   Sleepless, you hold

  your pillow to your hollows like a child;

学习啦在线学习网   your old-fashioned tirade

学习啦在线学习网   loving, rapid, merciless

学习啦在线学习网   breaks like the Atlantic Ocean on my head.

  Mama, come back.

  Why did you leave

学习啦在线学习网   now that I am learning you?

学习啦在线学习网   The landlady next door

  how she apologizes

  for my rough brown skin

  to her tenant from Hong Kong

学习啦在线学习网   as if I were her daughter,

  as if she were you.

  How do I say I miss you

学习啦在线学习网   your scolding

学习啦在线学习网   your presence

  your roast loin of pork

学习啦在线学习网   more succulent, more tender

  than any hotel chef's?

  The fur coat you wanted

学习啦在线学习网   making you look like a polar bear

  and the mink-trimmed coat

  I once surprised you

学习啦在线学习网   on Christmas morning.

  Mama, how you said "importment"

学习啦在线学习网   for important,

学习啦在线学习网   your gold tooth flashing

  an insecurity you dared not bare,

  wanting recognition

  simply as eating noodles

  and riding in a motor car

学习啦在线学习网   to the supermarket

  the movie theater

  adorned in your gold and jade

学习啦在线学习网   as if all your jewelry

  confirmed your identity

  a Chinese woman in America.

  How you said "you better"

  always your last words

  glazed through your dark eyes

学习啦在线学习网   following me fast as you could

学习啦在线学习网   one November evening in New York City

学习啦在线学习网   how I thought "Hello, Dolly!"

学习啦在线学习网   showed you an America

  you never saw.

  How your fear of being alone

学习啦在线学习网   kept me dutiful in body

  resentful in mind.

  How my fear of being single

  kept me

  from moving out.

学习啦在线学习网   How I begged your forgiveness

学习啦在线学习网   after that one big fight

学习啦在线学习网   how I wasn't wrong

  but needed you to love me

学习啦在线学习网   as warmly as you hugged strangers.

  Making a Fist

  For the first time, on the road north of Tampico,

  I felt the life sliding out of me,

学习啦在线学习网   a drum in the desert, harder and harder to hear.

学习啦在线学习网   I was seven, I lay in the car

学习啦在线学习网   watching palm trees swirl a sickening pattern past the glass.

学习啦在线学习网   My stomach was a melon split wide inside my skin.

学习啦在线学习网   "How do you know if you are going to die?"

  I begged my mother.

  We had been traveling for days.

  With strange confidence she answered,

学习啦在线学习网   "When you can no longer make a fist."

  Years later I smile to think of that journey,

  the borders we must cross separately,

学习啦在线学习网   stamped with our unanswerable woes.

  I who did not die, who am still living,

  still lying in the backseat behind all my questions,

学习啦在线学习网   clenching and opening one small hand.
