Black "Poems that

once dazzled seem tin."

The perfect envelope

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

the emergency cash infusions

KEY LARGO

my heart won't erase

I am "a card",

A gay blade around women,

A half shadow

lost in its failing,

the gravest grievances

gone south,

Queens must oft not be seen

in stone washed jean.
