Three Poems

by Christine Larusso

Erasure of Self as Seated Nude

I want you to lick               

                                    the dirt             of all the past
                Hes off of me, off                    the backs of my
                                                  thighs and            ridges
                                                              of my spine.          What if
                                                                        I was only
                                    a window?                                                   Each
                                    green
                of my  cell              was    open,  woodbuilt,
                                                                                             willing?
