for Katie
a poem by Guy, for his girlfriend
Your Face is a Space Station.
Each freckle is a planet,
or a pancake
frying in zero gravity
with spacemen swimming in your nuclear batter
orbiting dietcoke moons and
Ice Pack Black(Holes)
[how could earth be beautiful enough for her
her face is a galaxy]
eyes are twin motherland suns
living welts of Brownness
Brown like what tree trunks dream,
Brown like where james Brown shoots up that Brown stuff,
baseline Brown
Brown where it all began and where it shall return to
in the end
big bang eyes
more
Scalp is a spring farm
a breeding pit of mobius miracles,
a retirement home for slinkies
where hair follicles mate and curl
until I lose my sanity staring at it
lf there is justice in this universe,
darling,
we would lock nebulas and explore the cosmos
until it's all just dust
anyways
- Guy Robichaud
