blue and green

Supple skin lovely in off white
Bruises draped, fresh from last night
A fine tremor steadies as she raises
Her cup. Will it be enough
to leave his threats to kill?
No time more dangerous.
It’s when they rage.
But it’s a start.

Nice new dress, new do.
In the move she cries
Women’s ways sustain.
Sometimes to break is better.
It's easy to be too busy
To find a friend to tell.

She depends on simple remedies.
Ginger warms, chrysanthamum calms.
Can you mix one to make me steady
In the teahouse light, just right
For fading shades of blue and green.

And now a little history
White brick walls remind me
Of hot Louisiana nights gone wild
Screams and shouts, nothing here to see.
Today I’m grown and you've grown old
We don’t laugh about the past
we just laugh.

    Rosemary's Baby

    Rose is gonna have a baby
    Mama says they suck your calcium
    Genny said they take your eye juice
    On the radio. . . serial killer’s on the loose

    So Rose bought flinstones
    a can of mace, A 38 special
    and a yoga tape
    Says she’s gonna have an alien
    Or maybe an alligator

    Drink some water Rose
    Don’t’ forget to use a filter
    Take your vitamins
    Did you have your sonogram?

    Your gonna have a baby.
    It’s no alien or alligator
    One head two eyes, ten toes
    You may think it’s kinda gross
    But we’re happy for you Rose.

    Sing a song and do a dance
    Rose can’t see her toes
    She’s gonna have a baby
    I’m glad you’re happy too,
    my baby sister Rose.

    C'mon...sometimes comedy IS tragedy
    Only with our eyes closed can we truly see
  • And tragedy is comedy. "Macbeth" is a comedy, a comedy of ambition, the ultimate treatise in irony.
