The Blue Dory, the Soul

Jean Valentine

—I left the blue dory
there had been so much news
so many flashbulbs breaking
up the dory

so many people
following their names
eating their third heavy car
their third book

I left the blue dory
on its hip on the fence
left my soul not "mine"
"my" clothes off
I left the edges of "my" face
"my" hands
