there is a woman
with metal in her chest
and ink in her throat
she is like scotch mist
her iris, a cold cyan winter
her legs of lacquered glass
are castles in the air
she does not walk
she floats.
there is a woman
who is a crashing river
she swells
gushes, rises, recedes
brown sugar mixed with iron,
i know a woman like that
a ritual, a phenomena
someone’s past. saudade.
