Of Gods & Strangers<\/em><\/h1>\n

Tina Chang<\/h2>\n

EMPRESS DOWAGER BOOGIES<\/p>\n

Last night I found my face below
\nthe water in my cupped hands.<\/p>\n

The mask made of copper and bone
\ncriss-crossing to make a smirk,<\/p>\n

a false glamour, a plated glaze.
\nI unwound myself from the heavy<\/p>\n

machinery of my body’s burden.
\nThe lute, the light, chime.<\/p>\n

I’ll get up and partner myself
\nwith music, the purple moon<\/p>\n

peeling itself like a plum.
\nMen stand in a circle and<\/p>\n

they will ask and ask again.
\nI want to pick the thick bud,<\/p>\n

to lose myself in the body’s
\nposture bending in or away, to let<\/p>\n

my majesty and birthright go
\nand gesture toward a waking life.<\/p>\n
