forty veils/as many whacksveil one [childbearer]
growing up, we all wanted to be free. it was a given,
just as sleep was for the night, and waking for the day.
but in our wanting, we were told a great lie:
“the earth is not your mother; do not ask her for your sight.”
and in the safety of our skin, we believed.
left lingering in spotlights, the soil masked its own decay. ashamed,
or so the people spoke upon the revelation: “cheater, cheater, man-eater.”
they gutted rivers, they swallowed skies, each one burning
for a history. it is here that they live on―the only truly dead―
and this is where they came from.
veil two [engineer]
what carves between the bones leaves plot holes
twice fooled in the places that once made me a woman
and now make me stork-raving mad,
lost in tangles of plug and socket politics
balancing the weight of the either/or.
y’know, i don’t miss being a kid―much―
but i think i could go for another ride
in all those
