Pandora\'s Window
Ornament of you hangs around my neckin the shape of a smooth brown seed
you walk In the dark apple-eyed
along the ridges of my skin
its surface a bed of nails
you are forced onto tango-tip-toe
white conical lamps strung down Christmas hill
wreathe this meeting with nets of damaged pearl
fire flies flicker around the rims
of honey jars
in the heart of the house, a kettle boils ― it sounds like rain
blossom
