Vigil
by Irena Manukian
i am the quiet flush
of lamplight in the night,
the burnt sienna outskirts
blending into black
somewhere beyond my halo.
i linger in streetlight coronas,
muffling unsteady footsteps
and casting shadows
onto cast-off luggage.
i am the afterglow of cigarettes,
encased in smoking spirals
coiling slowly through the dusk.
i melt in doorways and
exhale in undertones of silence,
an insubstantial murmur
blanketing nocturnal streets.

Poppies in July
by Sylvia Plath
Little poppies, little hell flames,
Do you do no harm?
You flicker. I cannot touch you.
I put my hands among the flames. Nothing burns
And it exhausts me to watch you
Flickering like that, wrinkly and clear red, like the skin of a mouth.
A mouth just bloodied.
Little bloody skirts!
There are fumes I cannot touch.
Where are your opiates, your nauseous capsules?
If I could bleed, or sleep! -
If my mouth could marry a hurt like that!
Or your liquors seep to me, in this glass capsule,
Dulling and stilling.
But colorless. Colorless.
