bush in ghana
“I know there’s rumors in Ghana: ‘All Bush is coming to do is to try to convince you to put a big military base here,’ ” Mr. Bush said at the news conference. “That’s baloney. As they say in Texas, ‘That’s bull.’ ”
how diplomatic.

the atomic bomb is stalking me
a mushroom cloud lingering above my head
whenever I try to invite new legs into my empty bed
scrawled on your back and printed on my ribcage in times new roman font
waking, I reach for my waist and I realize the scab is gone, and the ink is too
just plain skin
not a mark on it
in a dark space crowded with bodies and faint colorful glowing lights
you tear through the figures and reach softly for my hand
pulling me through so I can stand beside you
lifting up your shirt to expose the marks,
you gesture for me to lift mine too
and you say,
remember, you and I are the same. 1945.
but the beating drum reminds me it’s morning and my skin is bare
your hand slips quickly back into the dark space
and I am alone, puzzle picking.
what does the explosive end of world war II have anything to do
with our linked hearts
nostalgic for a year I’ve never known
a year you might have known to keep me safe
