SUNLIGHT, DARLING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Makes a toy of night, / whose monstrous wedding
Last Line: Are not betrayed.
Subject(s): Marriage


makes a toy of night,
whose monstrous wedding
submerges once again
beneath the tarp and all
the warping promises
that lust commenced
and trysting ended
(defended, if at all, by
Freud's displacements
on the sheets) repeat
in casual ghost dispersals
the truth of day: We
are not betrayers, we
are not betrayed.
