:voodoo girl

.
.
Janine Galvez Pasmala
Her skin is white cloth,
and she's all sewn apart
and she has many colored pins
sticking out of her heart.

She has many different zombies
who are deeply in her trance.
She even has a zombie
who was originally from France.

But she knows she has a curse on her,
a curse she cannot win.
For if someone gets
too close to her,
the pins stick farther in.

The Seafarer

.
.
Rock me down, o starry skiff!


My head tired from waves, so stiff!



Very long I look for abode, –


My head tired from passions, hot:



Laurels – hymns – hydras – heroes, brazed, –


My head tired from senseless plays!



Lay me down mid leaves and grass, –


My head tired from ceaseless wars.

NEW YEAR ON DARTMOOR

This is newness: every little tawdry
Obstacle glass-wrapped and peculiar,
Glinting and clinking in a saint's falsetto. Only you
Don't know what to make of the sudden slippiness,
The blind, white, awful, inaccessible slant.
There's no getting up it by the words you know.
No getting up by elephant or wheel or shoe.
We have only come to look. You are too new
To want the world in a glass hat.

The Angel that presided 'oer my birth

The Angel that presided 'oer my birth
Said, "Little creature, form'd of Joy and Mirth,
"Go love without the help of any Thing on Earth."
