Holding Company: Poems

By Major Jackson

Book Overview

from "Jewel-Tongued" The stillness of a lover's mouth assaulted me. I never wearied of anecdotes on the Commons, gesturing until I scattered myself into a luminance, shining over a city of women. Was I less human or more? I hear still my breathing echoing off their pillows. So many eyes like crushed flowers. Our fingers splayed over a bed's edge. We were blown away.
