Gemini Marie Reiter

That tumor catalouged
itself deeper beyond
sorting

As the spotlight wandered
from the stage
I drank to get
a departure

Red wine made me bleed
and I flew fast
wanting a stain to
want

A morning would
endevour nothing that
I would leave it

and then--
That certain persistance
only arrupts
above a certain

fathers' DEATH
