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.
