SONG OF THE LOST BRIDE
for Robyn Kennedy

In sleep, you sewed in bride's clothes
my heart with a thread and a needle.

But still I remember this night
as embroidered in dust,

three points of the star, and
the sky turned inward.

How many times must I wake in my tomb
with my favorite marble and doll?
Promised, to death, love
I will be happy.
