Weird Sisters
I dreamt about The Golden Girls singing
the abused child they had taken in was soothed to rest
and I awoke -
In some television Miami a pastel universe
expands quickly from Blanche's ranch house
not a bang an immense zoom in
Here is the universe
and now a kitchen table where the fates of everyone
are knitted and decided over a very large cake
Dorothy holding the umbilicus knowing when to shear
Blanche measuring out the lengths of twine
Rose picking the thread
Sophia standing watch
deciding which skeins to toss into which basket
all the while singing Bobby Darin
