“First Thought” by Lorna Dee Cervantes

best thought, you had taught me — a river runs through it, the foot of the soul standing stubbornly in the freeze, all the shards of ice crumpling up the banks, what survives in the ignorance. Play it away. Be ceremony. Be a lit candle to what blows you. Outside, the sun gives a favorite present, mountain nests in ironic meadows, otter takes off her shoes, the small hands of her feet reaching, reaching; still, far away people are dying. Crisp one dollar bills fold another life. You taught me to care in the moment, carve day into light, or something, moving in the west that doesn’t destroy us. Look again, in the coming summer, the cruelest month alive still eats up the hours. Regret is an uneven hand, a rough palm at the cheek — tender and calloused. I drink another glass of water, turn on the tap for what grows, for you, for what lasts, for the last and the first found thought of you.

"It Breaks" Marge Piercy

You hand me a cup of water; I drink it and thank you pretending what I take into me so calmly could not kill me. We take food from strangers, from restaurants behind whose swinging doors flies swarm and settle, from estranged lovers who dream over the salad plates of breaking the bones of our backs.

Trust flits through the apple blossoms, a tiny spring warbler in bright mating plumage. Trust relies on learned partern and signal to let us walk down stairs without thinking each step, without stumbling.

I take parts of your body inside me. I give you the flimsy black lace and sweat stained sleaze of my secrets. I lay my sleeping body naked at your side. Jump, you shout. I do and you catch me.

In love we open wide as a house to a summer afternoon, every shade up and window cranked open and doors flung back to the probing breeze. If we love long, we stand like row houses with no outer walls.

Suddenly we are naked. The plaster of bedrooms hangs exposed, wallpaper pink and beige skins of broken intimacy, torn and flapping.

To fear you is fearing my left hand cut off. The lineaments of old desire remain, but the gestures are new and harsh. Words unheard before are spat out grating with the rush of loosed anger.

Friends bear banner headlines of your rewriting of our common past. I wonder at my own trust how absolute it was, part of me like the bones of my pelvis. You were the true center of my cycles, the magnetic north I used to plot my wanderings.

It is not that I will not love again or give myself into partnership or lie naked sweating secrets like nectar, but I will never share a joint checking account and when some lover tells me, Always, baby, I'll be thinking, sure, until this one too meets an heiress and ships out. After a bone breaks you can see in X-rays the healing and the damage.

In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn’t want to share - you know what they did?  Have no idea.

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.
