Cinema


They’re making a movie
It’s about her life

Opening scene
“INT
Main kitchen in
upscale restaurant
Chef pulls pan of
Yorkshire pudding from oven
Waiter appears at kitchen
door, shouts
“She ready Ed, your up”

They’re starting at the
beginning,
Her Mother’s in labour
Ed has to go 

She guesses that’s a 
good idea
Lay the groundwork 

What’s next then
Puberty?
Marriage?
Career?

She knows
it will be the 
controversial parts

Like nobody had
three marriages

Like nobody 
drank

Like nobody 
worked in the outback


Like nobody

was a poet


Like nobody
 maybe
watches biographies

Like maybe 
nobody
does

Hunger


She’s hungry
She’s always hungry
You can tell that by  looking
Though one shouldn’t
surmise
There are drugs that make 
one “fat”
(she hates the word)
Genetics even 
But we digress
She’s hungry
for a good time 
A dress-up
tress -up
time
It seems that
doesn’t happen
anymore
Not in her world
She misses the
compliments
They were part of
the scene 
Smiles all around
dancing even
Cocktails 
She’s hungry 
She’s always hungry
and at the rate things
are going
she’ll most likely
starve

Mia Tenda


(my tent)

Nostalgia
overcomes me
a longing
for my wilderness
home
I ruminate on
the trees
the lake
the moldering leaves
my dog
The scents and scenes
slipping away
as
I rush
to catch
