Three Poems
Poetry by:
MARISSA ZAPPAS
International Velvet
take me to a tea-warm moat coated in fallen wisteria
to broken shells in hell
to that light-scarred place only diamonds remember
and the dearth of my scaled flesh
do you remember you shot a seagull?
go home old man. go tire yourself
of the chew
*
oh Nina
furied are the flames of breath chamade
for the actress rage is salt
*
a man came along by chance
crumbs from a warm prayer
to understand incremental swallowing
take me to water
rub my eyes
those copper bugs to pills
