carlos in tom ford's film a single man

for your head

potions

the old woman made mint

candy for the children

who'd bolt through her front door,

sillhouettes of the great blue

heron. she sold ten-dollar potions

from a half-lit kitchen. chinese boxes

furnished with fliers & sinkers. sassafrass

& lizard tongues. they'd walk out

of the woods or drive in from cities

clutching lovesick dollar bills

at a side door that opened beside

a chinaberry tree. did their eyes

doubt under orion as voices

of the dead spoke? they carried

photos, locks of hair, nail clippings,

& the first three words of a wish.
