Literary Orphans

Portrait of Narcissus by Arja Kumar

there’s a man in my bed

smoking gray clouds

 

       warning me about

       heaven.

 

he’s looking up at the ceiling

 

       watching Eve laying

       in tangled roses,

 

luring her with candy apples.

 

the devil is a blue man

with a fly perched on his finger,

smoking gray clouds in my bed,

spilling milk all over the laundry,

 

       singing,

       american girls taste like sugar

       and

       coca cola.
