Mary McIlvain<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

it\u2019s printed lips\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0around silver pools<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and a buttery cool\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

lapping at your ankles<\/span><\/p>\n

it\u2019s prickling tongues<\/span><\/p>\n

dredging out farewells<\/span><\/p>\n

enough to quiet the bats<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0this night<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0* * *<\/span><\/p>\n

you are the belly of the sun\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0hanging low<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and i am an icebox\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0full of letters<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0* * *<\/span><\/p>\n

somewhere i fear my intuition<\/span><\/p>\n

is tying together all the shoes\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0left in the hallway<\/span><\/p>\n

the lights on the highway\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

the snaking souls\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

that come from\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0who-knows-where?<\/span><\/p>\n
