Two Poems from our Narrative Poetry Collection

Divine Divinity

Author:	Vanessa Mancini

Poem:	Divine Divinity

	On the lonely train, they sat across from one another Beside a priest, a drunk and a dreaming mother He was a young man no less than twenty She was still a girl but with knowledge of plenty They pretend to read the advertisements glowing on the ceiling But they can’t ignore the feeling of affinity between them Not a glance is met from the people all around All are lost in their past or future’s unleashed sound They express neutral faces And they dream of other places The boy watches a shy woman singing in the shower A naked light from a blooming flower The girl blesses an old man’s sneeze who nods, angry only to be awakened from his dream But the boy and the girl they’re here they’re now giving secret glances from brow to brow The girl lets out a slight hiccup from the secret joy she is licking up A little boy’s ice cream a pool still melting left on the floor and no one is helping. She rubs her legs together under her skirt she can’t resist her freshly shaven legs soft skin A touch of gin on her tasted tongue the boys love to kiss her but she never really kisses them back. She dreams of drawing astronomy on a pure man’s chest snuggled between sheets of sheer cotton. She seriously squanders upon silly questions like: Do old people have sex? Or maybe they lay down in crinkled covers, naked skin between wrinkles and soft crevasses She smells like cigarettes and pretty hairspray She often will pray even though she questions who God may be. He thinks it’s real funny to watch people’s inexpressive faces and wonder what they look like during an orgasm. He sometimes laughs to himself, maybe he is crazy. His calloused fingertips are red because he eats pomegranates by the seed as if each peice were communion He likes how on the inside there’s hundreds of separate pieces but in truth it is all one whole fruit. He likes to read children’s books and he spends more time thinking about writing than actually getting anything down. So Me Do. He understood the next stop he would have to go Butterflies flapped their wings against the inside of their skin Neither could hide their uncontrollable grin He wondered if he should give her his number She wanted to kiss his thumb but thought how dumb of her But his stop has now arrived and it is too late “This is my stop too.” she thought. “This must be fate.” They both stepped off the train of non existent time Their hearts beat up the stairs as their legs lightly climb Only a breath of air is whispered through their unspoken lips And back in it goes the space they gently sip They floated outside and stood on the platform above One reflection in their eyes, this was true love They then parted their separate ways to different places Both with glowing smiles spread upon their faces.

OUT OF REACH

Author:	Maria Hastings

Poem:	OUT OF REACH

	sometimes she likes to think what kind of person she would be if life had been more kind if she had known less sorrow and pain her eyes wouldn't be so sad her smile wouldn't be so forced if only tragedy didn't strike strike hard more than once if only she could have known what happiness felt like if only for a moment its taste she always longed for but it just wasn't meant to be so close and yet so far always just out of reach
