Descent
I was born a bastard in an amphetamine spree,
lit through with a mother's quickenings,
burrowing into her, afraid she would not have me,
and she would not have me.
I dropped out down below the knees
of a rickrack halterdress,
sheeted, tented knees, water breaking, linoleum peeling,
and no one there to see but me,
I woke on the floor as if meant to
put her back together, to try to hold on to her
like a crate to a river, as if I'd been shipped down
to stand straight while in the misgiving
she said I had a dream of thirty-six sticks
floating down a river and a dog who couldn't swim
and I could not swim, I slipped from her grip
in a room where two orange cats stared
like tidy strangers at a world of larger strangeness,
and I had no name, I was there at her breast
and I thought I could see her, the swag of her hair, the jaw,
the fearing, but I barely saw, I went sliding down the river
from a house in which it was sweet to sleep,
and the cool of the sheets
was never cool enough, and the imprint of the bedded bodies
diving, at once, took the shape of two geese.
