Poem: Not There

 

Not There

 

noon found her frozen

in the snakes

of her own veins.

 

she had married her own medusa,

commemorated

the fatal event.

 

to look inside

and turn to shocked stone,

could any pain

 

squeeze worse?

 

to show in eyes

a wound so bright

that blood relinquished fire?

 

to go down, to seek

a twin in a steep pool,

unaware she is dead

 

until she kisses you.
