Ain’t That Just Like Me
Blackstar 2016

Cara Losier Chanoine

Blackstar rose a metre
on the day of execution,
struck the kiss
with rattling speed
then stepped aside,
said
Hold your made hands,
this is war.
Take your passport
and shoes.
Push their backs
against the grain.

Your eyes trod sacred ground
on the day he died.

In a season of crime,
none need atone.
The oligarchs with foaming mouths
fool them all again,
survival sex stretching
tails to necks.
The blackout hearts
see more, feel less.

The clinic called,
the x-ray’s fine,
but I’m in danger
can’t be seen.
The prodigal pulse
returns
and she punched me
like a curse.
I’m sitting
in the real bad
dizzy snatch and
I found your note,
it can’t be right:
We were born
the wrong way round.

You said you want it written
on your gravestone.

I’ve pushed you down
beneath the weeds now,
and I’m cold to this
pig and pug show.
Blackstar rose a metre,
then smote the mistress,
and somebody else took his place.

There were eagles in my daydreams
on the day he died.
I’m not a marvel star,
just a flash in the pan
of the great I am,
but I’ve got drama
can’t be stolen—
a solitary candle
in the centre of it all.
It’s too dark
to speak the words,
but this
is
all I ever meant.
