Morgan

Two-eyed lady
in all your sweat
and strange shoes

Gentle lady
who learned Spanish
formally
and Chinese
in passing

Thin lady
with symmetrical breasts
in that party dress
we imagined so much

I call to the prostitutes
to the alcoholics
to the men who did
unspeakable things
when there was no war
to excuse them:
Come and get 
your soup!

God will never love
such a sorry lot
such a harried lot
of harlots
but Morgan
can make them soup
from a burrito.
