Matriarchal Stone

from Lips In Front Of Your Teeth by Maxine Gillon

/

lyrics

anosmia, stealing clothes
gifted later as a gesture
of what she does not know
of veins and skin and hair her own

grey streak, Kalisch nose
follicles bright, Patrick White
words are sticks and stones
as is shame unbeknown

some bonds are deeper than the old ones
some bonds are etched in matriarchal stone

no past and no tome
fever dream, murky stream
grow my stems, hold my own
bildungsroman is a rhizome

bathe in acetone
gone awry; wait to die
determinate, in repose
what kind of chromosomes are those?
