flying saucer
Stephanie Yue Duhem
a still
but still gleaming
eye
very much alive
was the moon
that night
over whose
avaricious surface
a dark disc
darkened
like a coin laid
on an eye-
lid
i
turned to my friend
a blonde as blonde
as a blonde
in a movie
poster said
did you see that??
but her mouth
was an o
as in u.f.o.
object-
ing to the sight
above
i didn’t tell her what
i thought
which was that
you
had sent the saucer
since
our earthly love
had faltered
and
you still wanted me
to have a ride
yes love so i see
you will do anything!!
and love yes
i am beaming
up
up to go anywhere!!
as your bride…
