I Knew Terrible Things
i knew about the terrible things the women with magnolia trees
mushrooming out of their backs is not what we were oh-lord about.
it wasn’t dread sunny side up which made our yolks runny. &
you may say who cares about a yolk & a tree. sunny. terrible: awful,
appalling, horrific, atrocious it was the terrible things we saw
growing in those magnolia trees from their backs the way the
flower did not bloom the way the petals hunchbacked
& hushed no name we surveyed those women who committed
horrible against (you) & the women replied no (one) their
sappy voices sunny the ants reminding them that they are not birth
but burial not a three day resurrection terrible: awful, appalling,
horrific, atrocious but transitioned terrible things make
a list equaling more than the some of their parts but we don’t do
any (thing) we just keep up & down up & down. wondering. wandering
which of those women will split herself open which of those
women i knew with the terrible things would fester herself a nest in
her own back which was her own tree which was her own producing
no(thing) & i knew about the terrible things still i told
her terrible: awful, appalling, horrific, atrocious what a wonderful
thing she is to climb what a wonderful source of shade & she didn’t
mind throwing it because i knew the terrible things because i saw
the dark side of her g(low) because once upon a time we were
more nolia than mag & only a woman with a tree growing out of
her back could shake a leaf at that—oh lord a tree. sunny. terrible:
awful, appalling, horrific, atrocious
