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.
