Steel Band Song





Steel Band Song


A cricket slept
between my thighs
& a bouquet
of splendid flowers
which was also fruit

a soprano butterfly
a bee & a turtle dove
a singing, dreaming duet
slept between my thighs.

But one day a hyena
of disconsolate laughter
―razor of a turbulent stroke―
silenced the Turtledove
aborted the cricket’s leap
banished the fruit
deported the butterfly
& disbanded the duet

Now I have a lot of nothing
dying between my legs
