 I harvested the sky. / A lion cub hanging / on a purse string. / My body milk-making. / Two years to knit holes to keep / the sky outside. / Myself inside a Russian doll. / Kept my hands in gloves / dry washing. / We had horses in hay / my body looking / for homes encased in cloth / the undercoat of someone else’s maid. / The lion’s share. / Railings all along the route. / I bit to make a cage. / The tide engorged there / and all was green. /
