Poem for Mary Ann I wanted to follow Rimbaud Into the fire Into the green glaciers Of absinthe Down the dark stairs into the wine That always let me finish The poems I had to write You preferred the blue smoke Of old mountains And moons, Those old mothers came to you In daylight Their crystals still sparkle In your fading eyes We’re crones now You, stout in a black coat And a brave red hat Me, thin, the skin Hanging like old curtains On my bones that Time Has not yet broken You’ll go to a sweat lodge, I’ll go home, Study the map, Find another mountain. Karen Sykes
