Rebis
Take this crown
no bigger than a bread
bowl. Take this sword
forged deep in the bowels
of negative space. Turn
your business
inward. Reflect on your
better half, the bruises
of your bitter wings, the simple
fact that you're not the same
nobody you used to be. Unwrap
the bandages & see the woman
inside the man in the lapis breast-
plate as the ladyfaced snakes
coil still closer to the heart
of precious stone. Tadasana
astride the demon's back,
a foot on each black throat.
Asunder & ununderstood
two halves make a whole
lot of noise.
