POEM: tv xian woman

tv xian woman
(to be read from bottom to top)

babel
tower of
a designer
to heaven like
screw hairdo climbing
for to carry me home - cork
metal hoop earrings, coming
cheekbones - swing low sweet
spidery lashes dancing on frosted

(from the chapbook LAUGHING IN ITS FACE, 1993; photo by me)
