Poetry by Liz Howard, “Transit of the Morning Star”

- Liz Howard

-art by sab meynert, At the Brink, At the Mouth

-ink on paper, 2013

Commuting across the known sun I take up the red morrow

To wield the ornament of my heart over this caustic city.

Completely unsentimental raining down my brainy hollows

Upon that which is not quite song or flesh possessed

But an impulse toward being I should set about mastering.

Endeavouring to pass forward in all earnestness

The clover crown of my girlhood’s power.

Visage at the fore and hip flicked out toward

The call and response of future haunts

Wherein you love me as I stand. A woman.

The wildness of a requisite Sunday dress

Climbing those birch and fir trees, recalcitrant.

Against the request of my caretaker

for I was an Indigenous girl in those branches

divining survival from what green I could see.

Puberty, all constellations a constant

My long last reckoning past starboard.

Pole star above your navel, love,  tracking

How to read the orientation of a body

Past dusk. The fact that gravity

Could cull any meadow, sheer milk

Evening primrose a bastion for little 

sparrows. It was as if I knew finally

But the immutability of skin called me

Equal parts poise and putrefaction.

Lavender hordes assembling

And disassembling my name.

Bad infinity, no tincture.

Only your face, a solar curtsy.

My wet heredity that can never be erased.
