A poem
called Escape.
What gives it away is not
The layer of dust
That blankets the flowerpots
Handsomely lined along the patio
But the disturbing sense
That no matter how
She polishes them
They won’t shine
The woman who once was unburnable
Now avoids the flames of memory
Probes for elusive messages
While watching CNN
By the poolside
Buries her nakedness
In the abdomen
Of earth
