The Poetry Of.
Emily Clarice Harriman



Flap-Hearted

You have a knack
for using a
claw
I cannot see, and tearing
the beating-meat
of me

you reach inside under the
vest where chest is pumping
and you tear a
'v'
of pain

it folds down
over, hanging
sad

on the
inside label
all it says is, do not staple,
fold or
mutil-

(late is
gone.)





R.I.P.

Unroll the sod, the seeded car
pet. Give me rain
ment- any
dirt'll
do for
I need sleep
and I am used
as
thoughts are lost, as life is dream
as words are more than
....what they seem.





Looking

Porcine
portraits, how you love
the

pinks
and
reds

the
open
slackness, flesh like
inner
tubed
resiliency


where
I have
only
blackness of
eye- a bird
like
brilliance

deep inside
and

buttons

all
the way
up
my life.
