I Tell My Mother How I Found Love

I fell for my husband
like a suicide from the Golden Gate Bridge.
It wasn't a great marriage.

When he held me,
pleasure ripped across the surface of my face.
Disturbing.

A convention of seagulls
told me to scavenge for a key.
From there, everything snowballed.

I discovered the mathematics of randomness.
Zeros and ones
like flowers, candles, and photographs

framed in red cinnamon hearts.
Amid fire, these ones
occupied a street corner. I drew three cards,

which is how I met him.
My eyes shone topaz. I tasted help
in his emergency numbers.

He showed me how to eat the moon
and came back in a few minutes
with a warm pair of gloves.
