Angeline Schellenberg
Song for Sex
Oh, mashup of poetry and friction,
all here-ness and bungle,
here’s to years of trust, flashes of huzzah,
the grudging forgiveness,
and the halleluiah.
Bathing, Sinking
The B&B where I
bathed in lavender (before
bubbles could make me cry)
lies around the corner from
the Misery—
first syllables of
the hospital where you were
never born.
