the motherlode of marian apparitions
i watched her coiffure the toilet paper ceremony
mahogany skin burnt cinder of a woman clothes
meticulously placed on fence suitcase on the brown
sodden ground soggy rivulets sacred substances
monsoon rains for days she remains encrusted
muddy+golddust like Frida K. when she lay under
the bus crucifixion thru pelvis future gangrene
waiting in the wings 27 doves crushed along with
Frida’s right leg
golddust woman in park finishes her coiffure places
a checkered jacket over her head sleep of the near
dead for 3 hours as poet in silver pants + Jackie O
tee tries to give her some dignity by not watching
someone’s motherdaughtersister hobbled
but is that even the case?
she is always smiling + has a kind of flotsam-freedom
hey i don’t need your dignity handouts comfort queen
but wait! she levitates
are those doves?
is that a leg?
is this marian?
Frida?
Frida?
Freda?
