Those double shot-gun

houses in fresh Orleans

can get a man killed.

Helena, orb of days in our shared

courtyard in her crimson

swimsuit. Her breasts

point toward my back

door, just interstice & light

between us. I want to

talk about friendship,

about in what manner an August day's

brightness can murder

She lies against the ground

moving her hips to the music,

reading Joaquim Machado

de Assis again. Whispered

Portuguese floats to me

through magnolia scent

We listen to Afro-cuban

because we the couple can move

to the tympanum Her husband

is draped in computer cables



somewhere. I want to say

that de Assis's skincolor

didn't have anything to do

with indelible printing ink

'on his hands, that "Masca

Azul" & "Circulo Viciosi"

had been woven into one

unbroken ditty of colors

in my head. The blue

fly's "wings of gold

& carmine" were also

the glow-worm's lament

about the canopy of heaven the sun's

wish to be a glow-worm.

I want to count her how

she's wounded me with

r woven fabric but before

I can walk across the room

a spirit or guardian angel

slams the door shut
