Mayfly
-
When we were mayflies our wings were
worn from wire screens, but the tentative
beats of your belly chimed like iron.
And it occurred to me that through
the breeze of burning leaves our eyes
were open to wasps and weeds.

You Underneath
You
underneath,
brushing the willow,
swallow many branches, while
brushing the willow
underneath
you.
Silence,
they hear the
scratch, the bark
at the back of your throat.
Scratch the bark,
they hear the
silence.
You
underneath
brushing the willow,
silence!
They hear the
scratch, the bark
at the back of your throat;
scratch the bark
they hear the
silence,
brushing the willow
underneath
you.

This is so good, I can forgive you for p-o-m-e.
I'd love for the comma to come out of the last stanza, so it could be a 'ghostly moaning writ' as well as a 'ghostly moaning written in her skin.' Aside from the brackets it's the only punctuation mark in there, I kind of tripped on it.
But I have big feet, so.
