Edie’s Song

Kyle Hemmings

As a frittering girl with big superficial eyes,
I hid under the bed from my father
who was now screwing a woman of rock-hard silence.
I imagined making love to Bob Dylan but I couldn’t decide
whether we made a baby under the bed or on top of it.
Maybe we just made time. When thirsty, I will drink
cool water from a rusty spigot. When I become longer,
hen the years stretch and snap, I will teach a parrot
to sing a song about a braised heart misshapen
as a cauliflower never floating to the top never completely cooked.
It won’t get me anywhere, but it’s the only tune I can carry.
