Flowers


Among the things
Mr Halcub never
promised his Janice

was a rose garden.
She made do with
a tub of geraniums

on the fire escape
where she dried

her hair, so bright
it lit them.

In Baltimore
 
Blinky had a condition that, when he became tense,
hair would grow audibly. Sometimes it came up from
his chest and tickled under the chin.
 
At first, he didn’t know if meeting Jennie-Lil was a
good thing, but they were making a go of it.
 
Hers popped out on the back of her hands.
After, following the arms. With surgical gloves,
no one would notice till it got there.
 
Today she’ll come for the last quarter of the
Ravens game from her shift at St Agnes.
 
He’ll cut the sound, then, for both to listen.

Premiere

Actresses arrive
in swarms of hair.

Fitzgerald had
Bernice bob hers

in defiance way
back where.
