Twice 8 of 100 by Ainsley Burrows
a roused circle
a folded myth
a wooden bridge across
the dark canyon
the caressed sky
the edges a canvas
of moans
ritual bliss buckets full
her inner inquiry
caught by impulse
a manuscript of hip rotation
slow down baby
that’s before we got all
evangelical and she was
reverend promises and yes right there
and I was
the ridiculous Minster Eleven
leg cramps and repentance

It is cruel this way that you love. Only feeding your ego. Ego has a silly way of dancing its home into a frenzy.

You’ve been messing up my swag. You have me second guessing my movements. I am fluid. There is nothing solid about me. All I have ever been is ocean. All tropical and broken-winded heart. For a moment I thought I could be a rock, it turns out I am merely a valley.

My aunt invites me over for dinner every monday night. Her house smells of lavender and burnt cane sugar. As she stirs the beans, peels the corn, cuts tiny pieces of tomatoes, I marvel at her hands, how gentle they dare hug a knife, how forgiving they seem.
