Mary Meriam
Basic Me
Bed is a popular lesbian theme.
House is a lung on the verge of a scream.
Owl in the tree is a thought from the past.
Lake is a love that evaporates fast.
Soup on the stove is the day to be home.
Dark as the night is the time for shalom.
Rose is the source of my quick and my calm.
Bread is the fortune crisscrossing my palm.
Gay is crossdressing on West Village piers.
Age is a measure of all my lost years.
Queer is a feeling, a flash of wild fish.
Cat is outside with a paw on my wish.
Sleep as a comfort is close to a kiss.
Jan is the gentle critiquer of this.
