The Silky Weasel's Dish Floats a Wish

'Haunted Pieces'
by Carolyn Adams

The woman so thin tumors planet-like in her ribcage glowing
brushes by with a swish:
The Milky Way embracing coming & going:
monkish her desire
to pass thru a needle's eye.
Whiplash gets her with the long neck like Anna Akhmatova
driving the oxen of her yearning thru the lean hours into the great longing.
