After Charles O. Hartman's "Tambourine"
To see
every eclipse as
orange slipped into the puddles
on the street. The gravitational shadow peaks
massive,
luminous,
black.
From its narrow
corridor,
the world looks on as another first
contact
rises, then descends. This is a matter of geometry
only. From
inside, the totality
appears to
pulse wildly--a panicked heart. Looking, even for just
a few seconds,
can
cause intense and
permanent vision. Inside the panicked heart are
many doorways and walls:
shadow
bands flashing at even, regular
impulses. The
children running after them,
trying to catch them with their hands.

Agatha-- aging,

“Few feminists feel fear,”
Felix Fed-Exed Fernando.
“Feisty, fetishized, female feminists
feign fecklessness, ferociously
festering fermentation feats.
Feminist feasts: feral feline festivals,
fertilization feuds,
felonies, Feng-Shui,
federal fetus felicity.
Fecund feminists? Few.”
