Summer Songs
by Alicia Ostriker
I. Psalm
I am not lyric any more
I will not play the harp
for your pleasure
I will not make a joyful
noise to you, neither
will I lament
for I know you drink
lamentation, too,
like wine
so I dully repeat
you hurt me
I hate you
I pull my eyes away from the hills
I will not kill for you
I will never love you again
unless you ask me
II. FISHERMAN
Imagine a fisherman in summer deep
Enough to have drowned all other seasons—
His river flows between banks of ash and hickory,
Blackberries ripen, cobwebs form in the shrubs,
Blue jays grow drowsy. Living in his dream,
Having escaped his relatives, a fisherman—
All above water is gauze, hotly in touch,
A late Monet, a Bach
Chorale, a woman peeling oranges—
Only the cold trout must elude the dream.
Below his boat in the brown flood, pure muscle
They glide along as if he does not exist,
Like courteous phrases in a dead language.
Their glassy eyes look past each other hopeless.
It is as the fisherman wishes. He casts
His line again and again in the heavy heat.
III. Laǐs to Aphrodite
They call you the laughing one
Aphrodite, honey woman
I suppose because you laugh when our hearts crack
like red eggs and we want to die
but you keep us on our knees, hoping, trying—
well I am hurt and angry, you are aware
I have adored you all my life
sometimes lounging in fur and kohl
sometimes as a beggarly hag
for I recognized you in that poor disguise
and when the clock threw her arms in the air
and I threw my legs around the moon
you climbed inside me like the surge of a wave
I could ride, I could sail, and anyone I kissed
I was kissing you—whom I fear
I will never see again, never
kiss again
