Erin Martin Trickster orpheus, little whore, god bless you for mermaids, favorite zero, saddle horn, satellite muse, I still have your minor chord, your slit throat, the gesturing hand. pocketer of jack of trades.      rosary, crucifix, doppelganger of uncanny resemblances. owner of every red car I see.      tumbler of dice, splitter of hairs, apostrophes, ears, etc.      breaker of ice, hearts, things left in gloveboxes.      oui in ouija. scheherazade, sheepskin worn to shear, heartbeat, oversleeper, unsolved blank in every game of hangman on the roof.
