“Pink Coconut” by M. Clara White
Two girls squat under a bridge,
Young pack-a-day girls
Unfiltered Camels, in a September snow
In the warm South girls
Warm with a bottle of SoCo. Young girls:
Janice’s drink.
Changelings melting and freezing, young
Mouths
Water for sweets, hands that need each
Knuckle kissed, tucked
Each finger inside mittens by Mommas who
Check zippers and cover ears
Two girls in blood-surprised bodies, young men’s
Mouths
Water for a taste, a peek, a squeal, a smoke
A brutality
Toy girls, teeming girls, SoCo and tits, The Doors
Pussies and bassinettes
Their first trick under the bridge and the pink coconut
Cupcakes it buys them.

This is one of those DAMN poems that makes me never want to write again but is also the reason why I do. I posted this on my facebook. I considered getting a twitter to tweet it. So good.
