Herewith, the latest selection from dusted-off published poetry and short fiction, circa 1970s vintage and beyond....
Motherplant
Roseate and convoluted bud
what a delight you are
.... like a foetus
curled and living green
suckling sustenance from
the androgynous motherplant
with the ridiculous name of
Schlumbergera. Even the name
made me think of slumbering
and rocking my own roseate
pearl to sleep; she who is
now grown and has that
strange convoluted buttress
of will, shuttering me
out of her shell.
c. 1979 Rita Rosenfeld
published in Gusto, Vol.1, No.3
