Rhyme & Verse Three poems by Mark Jarman
The Chalk of Moses Skreeks Between My Fingers
The chalk of Moses skreeks between my fingers. Milton’s blindness burns through my sheer eyelids. Edmondsen’s hammer and chisel weigh down both my hands. Yes, in my dreams.
Let me start again. I bite my index finger and follow a trail of thought into a tunnel, not moving from my desk, sweeping for clues, footing it slowly.
Walls drop tapestries. Ceilings buckle. Interior rooms unfold like ruined churches. And bodies ready to be coupled with produce lampblack for ink.
I look around for one true standing thing or lying thing. Rising from underfoot the realm of space is dizzying and close. I lean, put down a word.
She Twirled Along the Brick Wall, Fingertips
She twirled along the brick wall, fingertips clawing at mortar to take hold and skittering over the wall face like a keyboard, frantic, muted.
And I as usual was just trudging along, head down — on ice this time — more of a mincing than true trudging, though my soul trudged, when I caught her.
Slim, young, padded in pleated fleece, and taller than I as I helped her stand, she pulled an earplug out beneath her knit cap, said, “Ouch.”

O World Flung Inward by an Arm of Stars
O world flung inward by an arm of stars, feeling out of control or stalled, o friend or enemy, propelled always it seems without effort
among stars, a star yourself, trailing your solar wind, asleep in your life as we dream you’re awake,
spare part, vital particle, hung in a table leg or wisp of steam, your permanence and evanescence balanced by a term of art,
o make a joyful noise, you’re on your way, your transit has been noted and made music.

And said it like a quiet bid for privacy. Paternal, winded, I wanted an assurance. And she assured me with a thanks that meant, “Just let me cry.”
