‘Dearest Mummy’,
loving and reproachful,
a tightened mouth in a
face puckered up and
quivered like a palejelly. Your barnacled
umbilicus, the lovers’ fat,
paralyzing red placenta,
that bald, wild knuckle
white moon unloosingbats and owls, dragging
seas like crimes. An ebony
Mary growing smaller
and smaller until she dis-
appeared; O eely tentacle,there was never anything between us!
Aurelia Schober Malley

ted coM as well.”
That doesn’t mean all of them got in, Dennis! Sheesh …
Actually that was Davey’s post. I’m not sure of the identities of any of the poets. Well except for Jaya and I.
No need to get testy. I did think of that; simply confirming.
Not testy at all – take it easy.
Chillax? We’re going to the moon and back in the other isle on this red eye special!
Heh heh – I like it, Dennis.
