Empress of Eternity

One more directly for the Empress of Eternity. Here's how it started in Otoliths 44. 

The Kinks

 

Always a harangue, to get anywhere near the avant-prof clan from twenty years ago with the idea that hetero sex might be interesting to write about. Queer sex got off the hook, for being trailblazing. But men and women, forget it. Better to spout the usual stylized gibberish. In any case, who you see here is Danielle (Dani) Diendorf. And the major, newly revised double sonnet about her is Flaming Red Hair. The tie-in to Stoli from earlier this year is simple: the kinks. 

The Schuylkill Moves

 

The Schuylkill moves cleanly, despite
all the murk, as the Expressway looms
on the other side of it. The trees, as
usual, are Heaven, rooted much too
deeply for us to fathom, stacked at
solid angles into a receptive Universe.
I am waiting, writing on the edge of
wars, chopping through the cesspool
of centuries old shit, stunned into an
awareness of you, Abby, and of our life’s binds.
When I imagine you, it’s with a sense
that we’re both standing at the river’s
edge (we are, of course), and as long as we see,
your way, the trees shade into the sky, the binds hold—
