| Publisher Description: An excerpt, a poem based on chapter fifty of Psalms // He swallows another gulp / Of the red wine, / Not quite vinegar, / And tells her, his once-young wife / Now grey, her back curved, // "Ha Ha Ha I am king of Babylon / Of Assyria Of Egypt " Again he / Swallows, while his silent wife / Watches: "The bulls that paw and / Snort-mine The creatures of / The forest-mine The jackal, / The animals that burrow, the mice / And mole rats and jerboas-mine " / He waves his drink before her, / Mother of grown children, / And his eyes grow wide in the light / Of the burning wick between them: / "You-mine This plastered house- / Mine The little hoopoe that flies / To Egypt-mine I am a king All the / He-goats-mine " Again he waves his / Drink. "Ha " He swallows. He smacks / His lips together, and his angry eyes / Warn her to keep the peace, / To lose another battle. And inside / Her skin her heart screams: // "Nabal Nabal Nabal " which is / Not his name. |
