from SEANCES
by Louis Armand
ariadne's thread
after the long night her arms
like an astrological map full of endless zeroes ...
without knowing why she takes
the dulled constellation of her eyes
& offers them up to her dealer in kings cross —
she says that if she can have
one more hit
she'll hide it somewhere in her body
where the sickness won't find it
she says one more hit
will give her courage
to go blind through the world
with a cardboard sign a bowl & a walking cane —
but just for good luck
she conceals her last needle deep inside
her last candle her last square of foil
she ties a spoon around her neck
on a cotton thread
as a last reminder of the way home —
though she says on the doorstep:
anyway, this time i'm not coming back
