With You Lying There On The Other Side Of The Bed

By Lyn LifshinMarch 1992

Poetry

Bedrock Mortar Full Moon Illumination

Seeing the reflection of the full moon / in the rainfilled bedrock mortar holes / where earliest California Indians / ground acorns with circular grinding stones / And sensing how the full moon / is like a mortar stone in the sky

The Prophet Explains Religion

OK so he don’t look like a prophet but he’s / A real smart old guy. Got a place / Over a Chinese restaurant on Broadway / & you got something you want to ask / Just take him some chateau la hooch & go up the back way. / Says PROPHET IS IN on the door.
