Two Poems by Mary Kasimor

x

my brain is an egg creating itself
a clone of being
a buddha of farce
               fixating on a lack of reason
this suffering of absence says nothing
the sculptor fell unleashing the brain       on amphetamine
                   fractured          between two kinds of electricity
through transparency mirroring polyester
                         and brocade       
                                                    lipstick on a pig
an enigma outwaits itself
polyester comes pre-         prepared
it will never die
passion manufacturing itself
by remote control          the brain is without
itself
until it dissolves
(stays quiet in its facelift        )
                                    mumbles 
evoking a formula
into this device I pour myself
l                 left the words in a hole
this                              strangeness of being







xiv

desire with its concave smile
i wore it all day
intimate and cruel  
the rain
drops its wet skin
in all its nakedness
the shiny flesh
is all surface
the orange marigold
touched with reason
and barely an adult
