Poesy
Two Poems
by Vicia Cracca

Relating over fives


Meet me in the Alfalfa room, the fan in 102, she scribbled on his message board.

Oh. I thought you wrote face. 'the face in 102.' Do you have your cervical cap in?

               *     *     *

I live on Staten Island now, she breathed into his answering machine.

Just because I gave him my sticks doesn't mean I can be his dad.

               *     *     *

               *     *     *

Do you like this finger puppet of a skeleton? Look it wiggles! It makes me hysterical, she laughed in his kitchen.

You're married now. You have to stop acting this way with me. But first let me fuck you really hard and bruise your cervix before you go.

               *     *     *

Is that a Red C on the crew T that Liz Phair is wearing in her latest video? she e-mailed him.

Being strong, yet vulnerable is nothing new to me, Ms. Face.

               *     *     *

Hello. Are you still there? she asked the crystal ball.

     Probably. But only time will tell, he replied.
