........

she was kissing a mummy

John Dorsey

It felt like she was kissing a mummy
the mother of invention
a palsied isadora duncan convulsing
to her shadow’s reflection
at sundown

a 21 gun salute
to a ghost who
was never there

her father tucked
them in with
the outline
of his hands
and was
a whisper
