Exhumed
Julie Barbour

I heard someone sing:
To love is to bury
and at the time
misunderstood,
my mind buried
in the building of music
between us.
Now, in retrospect,
(and there is so much),
dirt surrounded me,
kept me still.
To your questions:
weren?t you good enough,
weren?t we?
my only answer
is my body moving freely,
unearthed.

Oh, fruit of light!
Swell with love!
Ripen with sadness!
Sweeten juices ? dreams!
And let your fragrant thoughts
be honeyed dew
upon your tender skin!
Your taste I do adore!
? This whisper was
the mighty voice of light.
I soaked up its peremptory behest
with words that creep like ivy ?
here
in the shadow
of the vines
afore the coming day of vintage. [...]

As usual, they’re lost
inside old overcoats,
their collars up,
their scarves too long,
their yarmulkes,
as always,
in diffidence

This morning, though,
they don’t go in.
They shuffle near the curb

Mental Institution.
She gambled her savings away on [...]
