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.
