Questions About Bisexuals #4
by Carolyn OliverHow can you be bi if you’re married to a man?
Through the muted arborvitae slides
early winter’s glycerin light, propelled
by a blue windstorm’s blister-bluster.
If you were with me on this side you’d see
a cove carved out of the bronzed branches,
see the ruby cardinal perched in the blow,
its call hush in the bustle-blur and gust.
On the other side, the view: just rusted hedge,
no bright bead of blood stuck to a fresh cut.
