Thighs For Emily Dickinson Poem by Michael O'Sullivan

Thighs For Emily Dickinson



You will awaken
in an estuary
where

green-limbed children
give birth
to nightingales

so sleep
with woven lids
your nightmares
devoured
by
bone-dissolving fish

I gift you
a door
of silk

instead
of breastmilk,
blood.
