Bless You Madly
Space Oddity 1969

Cara Losier Chanoine

We broke the ruptured structure built of age,
and I’m not obliged
to read you statements of the year,
but my head’s full of murders
where only killers scream.
They say you sparkle
like a different girl
but you cry a little in the dark
because I’ve got to keep my veil on my face,
because I love you badly
because the rats
chew my bones
and there’s a cash machine spitting by my shoulder.

Your strange demand to collocate my mind
scares me into gloom.
The hangman plays the mandolin
before he goes to sleep,
before he sweeps the pillow clean.
He dreams our weapons
were the tongues of crying rage
and his, a phallus in pigtails.
I tell him,
Put your helmet on.
I got eyes in my backside
and I’m stepping through the door.

And as the sunrise stream flickers on me,
no purse of token fortune stands in our way.
My spaceship
knows which way to go.

We burnt one hundred days
and I still hold some ashes to me.
I can’t touch your name—
it burns my wall with time,
unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed,
but I paint that love upon a white balloon
and fly it
from the toppest top
of all the tops.
