Milk Dress
ByPublisher Description
From "Mater Dolorosa":
The September sky burns metal blue, each day's fabric torn away
from my window.
Write toward the girl, asleep beside me, her small body made
of mine
and toward the mother who waits, all night, awake, standing
over her child.
Write against blankness, a sheet strung tight, a bed the color
of ash white, white, white.
