Subject: The Domesticated War

Ever-knowing, glowing
flowing, going down the stairs
to my boyfriend’s apartment

The stench of hostility greets
me at the door, I feel perfect
in my sense of indignation

And in my sense of justification,
wearing it like my yellow cashmere
sweater. The door is like a fickle little child,

Refuses to move, holds its breath. The war
awaits inside and I’m bivouacking
in the hall with the bum who has

His kingdom built in the alley.
The war stretches on into another
minute’s horizon; hurtful words

Echo into infinitude off the hideous
pink wallpaper (a starlet’s candy room),
and the accompaniment of orchestral

Bedsprings is a fitting farewell for the
war who might’ve been a crude little girl
with dirt on her face and gum in her hair.


~AOS~ (Oh, Raphaela, sugar! If you read this, I have updated my website...and the link I gave you is horrible! So, let me know via email if you read this, and I'll send you the new link! :o))
