Mei Long's story finger written
on a frosted windowpane
at a party, camera flash split like
a coconut; cocked hip blond
in the bedroom in black and pink
black wildlife pink Kapuchi cure
awaits magic iris bulbs, lipstick
necklace Iris poem astronomer
astronomy science fiction poetry
fantasy novel fantasy fictional
lunar crust; Sandpaper sky, ripe
grape juice challenging Specters
**** complete stop breathing
***** of the line, the sound *****
resembling real earrings Trail,
will resemble ripples rock.
