Halloween squeaks across the night like chalk across blackboards
scrunching up backbones with hints of the underside--the realm of non-bei
-
Retracing the steps of yesterday's pleasure
I find myself stumbling
-
Aung San Suu Kyi rises to see me,
we have only a minute.
-
There will be no free fall
as if from grace
-
My new shoes were always tied securely for steps not yet taken and I wore them out quickly
-
If I am here and do not take a number, they do not call my name
-
as if it had a surface,
oceanic steps arrive with skin like satin
-
A place to blend and belong
to be a watcher not just passing
-
it is on the beaches sprawled oiled and easy
heard in nettings of afternoon cicada
-
spearmint flavored in its prime ready for the chosen moment
-
I needed a haircut bad, Why not? said I,
we'll do it right there
-
eyes see the invitation
lips part as portals for passage of
-
Little bird ruffled and wet
fallen and alone
-
We shall go out to the dark
to the shriek of the place
-
its you, only you
and I hope you want me
-
Love is downed in memories
fluffed to fit slow sinking measurements
-
As if it had a surface, ocean waves to walk upon,
skin like satin, spelled as Satin,
-
the demure deeming of a loon's cry as I neared a forest pond.
-
Alone within dank curtains
Of stone

When it is wet,
I dig at the pages of my newspaper with my fingernails

Lilacs blooming remind me of my grandmother
and her friends
-
We don't look enough at hands
when we first meet,
-
Turn up the light that sparkles so
around your shadow with in its glow
-
Beneath the pier
there is no reason for the space except the whistle of wind
-
Silence as a tabula rasa
a new blackboard so to speak
-
They dance with the wind in swirls of color
their hair flagging a frenzy of unkept intent
-
what is keeping Tom Cruise from the role of Napoleon
when that frenzied bravado oozes for a sword, a pair of doeskin britches

Suanne Marie Big Crow was born on March 15, l974 in the small hospital in Pine Ridge South Dakota, a place of beauty, freedom and hardship.

The bus stop at the main building of the Brooke Army Medical Center is a small and durable structure known to many.

time in a bottle was about to become now,
an improbable reel of beginnings

time in a bottle was about to become now, an improbable reel of beginnings

because I stopped
I noticed the melting snow

Sun shines around your shadow
