EMILY AS KNOXVILLE

2/23/2015

All hunger

& still

dripping,

my Emily,

 

animated

& wearing

mismatched

undergarments

 

dances

as the world’s

Emily

& as her

 

body stretched

to become

the horizon

of Tennessee,

 

I was instant

& reminded

that this dream

I’ve had now

 

for seven years.

When we left,

after my reading,

I heard applause

 

& a deep sigh

that I was

taking Emily

away.
