  Man and Wife

学习啦在线学习网   Tamed by Miltown, we lie on Mother's bed;

  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,

学习啦在线学习网   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,

  as if you had

  a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad

学习啦在线学习网   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,

  once hand on glass

  and heart in mouth,

  outdrank the Rahvs in the heat

  of Greenwich Village, fainting at your feet

  too boiled and shy

  and poker-faced to make a pass,

  while the shrill verve

  of your invective scorched the traditional South.

学习啦在线学习网   Now twelve years later, you turn your back.

学习啦在线学习网   Sleepless, you hold

学习啦在线学习网   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

  breaks like the Atlantic Ocean on my head.

  Mama, come back.

学习啦在线学习网   Why did you leave

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

  The landlady next door

学习啦在线学习网   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,

学习啦在线学习网   as if she were you.

  How do I say I miss you

  your scolding

  your presence

  your roast loin of pork

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

学习啦在线学习网   than any hotel chef's?

学习啦在线学习网   The fur coat you wanted

  making you look like a polar bear

学习啦在线学习网   and the mink-trimmed coat

  I once surprised you

  on Christmas morning.

学习啦在线学习网   Mama, how you said "importment"

  for important,

学习啦在线学习网   your gold tooth flashing

  an insecurity you dared not bare,

  wanting recognition

学习啦在线学习网   simply as eating noodles

  and riding in a motor car

学习啦在线学习网   to the supermarket

学习啦在线学习网   the movie theater

学习啦在线学习网   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

  following me fast as you could

  one November evening in New York City

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

  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.

  How I begged your forgiveness

  after that one big fight

学习啦在线学习网   how I wasn't wrong

  but needed you to love me

  as warmly as you hugged strangers.

  Making a Fist

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

学习啦在线学习网   I felt the life sliding out of me,

  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

  watching palm trees swirl a sickening pattern past the glass.

  My stomach was a melon split wide inside my skin.

  "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."

学习啦在线学习网   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,

学习啦在线学习网   still lying in the backseat behind all my questions,

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