Ha, you saw it before i deleted it- There's a twenty year anniversary anthology called "This Bridge called Home", very recent edition. I got to see Chrystos reading the poem at the launch and it made me all trembly.

This Bridge Called My Back

People, they come together.
People, they fall apart.
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars.

I am in love with god
I am in love with stars
I am in love with something
Coming close from far

You are in love with god
You are in love with stars
You are in love with something
That will tell you who you are ...

This Bridge Called My Back

So the poet is Chrystos and the book is This Bridge Called My Back. I'm getting closer! Does anyone remember the title of the poem...or maybe you could you post a few lines of it for the hungry...

Naaki, here are a few lines. I'm not certain which ones are published in This Bridge. I found this one in "In Her I Am".

*****
I like a woman who packs
not because she wants to be a man,
but because she knows I want a butch
who can loop my wrist with leather, whisper Stay right here. I have something I need to do to you
*****


What makes it so hot? The "packing" part is all good, but it's the basic elements of the poem that get me.


*****
I like to sashay down the street a bit
with her watching my legs & breasts & ass
while I watch her hands & mouth
& the neighbors gasp

I like a woman who can make me over
into whatever she wants
as long as she wants
wet & hungry to my heart
I like it when she grabs my hair
says don't move until I tell you
******

What else makes it hot? It reminds me of somebody I know, lucky me.

The alternate title of this thread is "other people write good poetry, why can't I???"

like the wind on the mountain
shaking ancients oaks."
