‘White Bird’ by Jane Furness (1931-2020)
Moby Doll
goddess of lust
protector of ships
we took a walk
on the edge of a world
we were just passing through
collecting songs for our white doll
it was a forest ocean planet
pretty cool and hotter than a spar
sky trees and buried stars
world-islands of little cakes
hidden in an amulet
meadows and seas
trilobite fakes
repeat our dreams
to someone new
scum of the meteorites
your children are my children
your ancestors are my ancestors
Moby Doll was first published in Raceme #9 (2020)
