Abstract

while that I'm on this dumb plateau, waiting for my body to do something else, or for my metabolism to get its second wind. I don't understand it all, but I don't think I need to. I just need these meetings and to keep drinking lots of water. The song ends and every single woman is smiling. Darcey is ready to introduce Goldie. Goldie Everly needs no introduction. She is a queen. She is Billy Graham, and we are a room full of sinners. Water is her Bible. She has walked through fire and survived. She is a miracle. She is what we want to be. She is thin. That sky's glass shattered, gone Earth-- and Heaven naked uplifted puddle of milk Our June's peonies make whole gilt ways of seeing Faith. Corrections in the hard Pleiades Moon above a seashell and Life's rich virus turn a simple chocolate drop to tongue-melting sweets One opened-eye kiss. --David Alan Payne
